You’ve probably heard about the Alliance For Abundant Food and Energy. But do you know what it’s all about? Well fear not because in this week’s program I interview Alliance Executive Director, Mark Kornblau. He describes their mission, why a new organization was needed and the marketing tactics they’re employing to get their message out.

The Alliance for Abundant Food and Energy brings together a broad group of visionary companies and organizations committed to sustainably and responsibly improving diets and reducing dependence on fossil fuels through increased agricultural productivity worldwide. They understand that through innovation, American agriculture can help meet the growing global demand for food and energy. Members include the Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) Company, DuPont, John Deere, Monsanto, and the Renewable Fuels Association.

Through credible, fact- and science-based education, information and advocacy, we advance support for agricultural solutions today, while building understanding of agriculture’s ability to fulfill the promise of improved diets and better fuels into the future.

The program this week ends with music from the Podsafe Music Network. This one is called “Unconscious Alliance” from General Fuzz. I hope you enjoy it and thank you for listening.
