Special Thank you to our supporting sponsors!

 

 

 

NACAA will be utilizing Microsoft Teams for our Virtual Platform.  You must register with the email address you intend to log-in with in order to participate (become a member of the Team). Once you officially register - your email address will be added to the Team, and you will receive an email invitation to join the Team. In order to simplify the process of entering the Team, you may be asked to create a Microsoft Account (with your email address).  This will allow you to download Microsoft Teams onto your computer/phone device.  One of the primary advantages of utilizing Microsoft Teams is that you won't be required to register for each specific event you would like to participate in.  All events will be listed on the Team page - and you will be able to easiliy switch from one meeting to another (and have up to 4 concurrent meeting running at the same time) if desired.

10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Opening Sessions - Keynote Speaker

 

TAKE FOOD BULLYING BY THE HORNS”

 

Michele Payn, CSP to address NACAA Members at Monday General Session as Keynote Speaker

 

Take Food Bullying by the Horns: Filled with examples from across the grocery store and scientific evidence, this webinar is filled with new insight. Food bullying is taking away choice on farms and ranches across the world. Based on the new Food Bullying book, Michele illustrates how trends in neuroscience and psychology are changing perceptions about farming, and agriculture as a whole. She also takes a lively look at where these trends have led to bullying within agriculture and how we can be more compassionate in our business to help consumers better understand the complexities of the food system.

 

Michele Payn, CSP, connects the people and science of food and farming as principal of Cause Matters Corp. She is known for being a community catalyst, a passionate advocate for global agriculture —and antagonizing people into action. Michele has worked with farmers in more than 25 countries, raised over $5 million in sponsorships for the National FFA Foundation, and has been involved in Extension most of her life. She is the author of three books: #1 best seller Food Bullying; Food Truths from Farm to Table, an IPPY bronze medal winner; and No More Food Fights! Michele’s degrees are in Agricultural Communications and Animal Science from Michigan State University. She has earned the Certified Speaking Professional designation, awarded to less than 10% of professional speakers globally. She resides with her ‘city slicker’ husband and cow-loving daughter on a small farm in central Indiana. She enjoys Registered Holsteins, the MSU Spartans, and making memories with friends around the table. Michele connects conversations around the food plate at www.causematters.com and socially through @mpaynspeaker.

If you are interested in obtaining a discounted author-signed copies of Food Bullying go to https://causematters.com/foodbullying/food-bullying-nacaa/.

Why do you need Food Bullying?  Food has become a battleground where marketing labels and misinformation is used to bully and demonize people around their eating and farming choices. What if you could stop stressing about what other people think and make eating decisions based on your own standards? This startling look at the misrepresentation of food sheds light on bogus nutrition and environmental claims to help you recognize bullies and defend your food choices. You’ll hear more from Michele Payn with her “Take Food Bullying by the Horns” keynote to kick-off our conference - this book is a great way to take home some of her research around help others understand our business.
