The past two years have been chock-full of disruption: COVID-19, the threat of African swine fever, federal regulatory changes – you name it! The American Feed Industry Association’s Nutrition Committee is hosting a program on this topic in conjunction with the 2022 International Production & Processing Expo, taking place Jan. 25-27. "Business Continuity in Times of Disruption: Lessons Learned,” will focus on challenges and opportunities for the animal agriculture industry in the face of disruptions, such as pandemics or foreign animal diseases. Topics include:

Managing government relations when local restrictions and health mandates disrupt business;
Navigating the sea of employee management and communications in unprecedented times; and
Thoughts on production and distribution: keeping the supply chain intact.
