The release noted the Symposium brings together leaders from throughout the potato value chain and a host of sustainability experts from within our membership to advance the discussion around potato sustainability and the good progress being made in potatoes.
Agenda highlights include:

“Last year’s symposium was a great start in discussing the importance of the potato industry’s sustainability efforts. This year’s agenda is shaping up to be even better, with discussions on important water projects and hearing directly from the farmers that are striving to be more sustainable every day,” John Mesko, PSA executive director, says in the release.
