The
Center for Food Integrity
We are all stakeholders in
our nation’s food supply – the safest, most abundant
and most affordable in the world.
The Center for Food Integrity invites you to learn
more about today’s food system and to join with us to ensure
the availability of high-quality food for generations to come.
Energy costs for producing
food are up 150 percent in the last four years and transportation
now accounts for 20-cents of every food dollar. What lies ahead
will be the focus of an internationally-recognized expert on the
oil industry at the 2008 Center for Food Integrity (CFI) Summit.
