The Agricultural Utilization Research Institute (AURI) is hosting a three-part webinar series devoted to the latest developments, initiatives and challenges in the upper Midwest’s thriving sustainable proteins industry.
The first live webinar is from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, September 13. Panelists from AURI, MBOLD and McKinsey & Company will provide a timely and detailed overview of the protein sustainability landscape across the upper Midwest.
Future webinars in the series will focus on examples of industry initiatives and projects related to protein to highlight how the private sector is navigating sustainability goals. The October webinar will cover what is happening in the plant and alternative protein space. In November, efforts related to animal proteins – including meat, dairy and eggs — will be highlighted. These topical webinars will include lessons learned and aim to inspire action and investment in the sustainable proteins space.
The webinar series is free and open to the public. Media members are invited to attend. For more information, or to register, visit the event page. Bremer Bank and the Mainstreet Businesses Focused on Food and Agriculture (MBFFA) Initiative are sponsors of the “Perspectives on Protein Sustainability” webinar series.
AURI Connects: Webinar Wednesday is a monthly webinar series hosted by AURI. Each session explores different aspects of the food and ag sectors in Minnesota—from resources for food entrepreneurs to innovations in coproducts and biobased energy.
