OCTOBER 2017 FOOD & AGRICULTURE QUARTERLY PAGE 3
editor ’ s note - JAY LEVINE
Welcome to our inaugural issue of Food & Agricultural Quarterly ( FAQ ). This new , industry-focused publication was designed to focus on the key issues food and agriculture industry stakeholders are facing – regardless of whether you are a small , family-owned farming operation or international food producer .
In our first issue , we bring together three rather diverse articles . First , Emily Taylor describes the phenomenon of urban farming , and the challenges facing such would-be agrarians . Next , Devan Flahive provides us with an update on the USDA food labeling program as it relates to genetically-engineered products . Finally , I ’ ll walk you through the latest on a slew of antitrust class actions recently brought against major poultry processors .
We hope you enjoy the publication , and we urge you to send us your thoughts about topics you would like us to address in future issues !
