National Geographic editor @animalag: farms must be more efficient
The first program feature of the Animal Agriculture Alliance Stakeholders Summit in Kansas City was a presentation by the executive editor of National Geographic about feeding the planet.
Dennis Dimick told those attending the Stakeholders Summit that civilization depends on soil. That’s only one of the facets of the ongoing series by the widely circulated publication on food production and feeding billions more people than there are today.
Dimick, raised on a small Oregon farm, said agriculture’s footprint grows by ten million acres annually and that farming needs to become more efficient to freeze that growth.
An upcoming issue of National Geographic, said Dimick, will focus on preserving pollinators, specifically, bees.
