"How is farming disseminated by social media? What are the effects of campaigns put out by organizations like PETA? There has been much mis and disinformation spread about farming and farm practices online, and as consumers, it is important we understand where and how our food is produced. This talk will take a look at common myths and lies spread about farming online and the ways in which we can all become smarter consumers."
