"Some of those include where we saw some of the challenges from the processing of meat products and we saw some bare shelves earlier in the pandemic, so looking at those obstacles and how to turn them into opportunities for decades to come.”

Solis adds the panel will focus on tools farmers or producers can use at any operation, of any size. She adds summit organizers want participants to walk away with the ability to overcome any obstacle.

"Just equipping them with whatever they need to feel confident moving forward and feel like they have the tools in their toolbox to really make the most of these obstacles and turn them into opportunities.”

The virtual summit takes place May 5th-6th, but preconference webinars will be offered starting April 28thClick Here to learn more or to register.
