CONVENTION KEYNOTE SPEAKER TO ADDRESS CHANGES AFFECTING AGRICULTURE

“We’re into a continuum of incredible structural change in the world as we know it. And failure to understand this and act accordingly has serious consequences.” Those are the words of futurist Ed Barlow, scheduled keynote speaker at FFVA’s 62nd Annual Convention Cracker Breakfast.

Barlow talked with FFVA last week about some of the issues he’ll be discussing in his presentation, “The Road Ahead for Florida Agriculture,” which will hit home with small, family-run businesses as well as large corporations.
