World Food Prize week is underway in Des Moines, IA. There are a lot of meeting, town halls, roundtables, symposiums, ceremonies taking place, some simultaneously. I’m going to be focusing on the Truth About Trade and Technology Global Farmer To Farmer Roundtable. So to kick things off I spoke with TATT Chairman, Dean Kleckner.

He says that there are 16 farmers here this year from various countries including the United States, to have a discussion on farming where they live, and to do it in a public forum to foster better understanding between countries and the general public. He’s says it has been interesting to hear how similar the challenges are throughout the world. I’m planning to feature interviews with as many of the farmer participants as I can during the next couple days.

Photos will be posted to the TATT Global Farmer To Farmer Roundtable Photo Album. Thanks to the National Corn Growers Association, sponsor of the Roundtable for making my participation possible.
