Adding their insights to what is sure to be a provocative discussion will be moderators Mary Wagner, General Manager and Chief Technology Officer of Mars Botanical, a division of Mars Symbioscience, and Jean Kinsey, Professor and Director of The Food Industry Center in the Dept. of Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota.

This was certainly one of the best sessions I attended. I really appreciated the insights shared by both speakers on the current economy and the future of food.
Great session, thanks to the sponsors.
