SDSU College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences
BROOKINGS The South Dakota State University Swine Club, along with various campus organizations and industry partners, will host a presentation by Julie Borlaug on April 12 to address the controversy surrounding the use of biotechnology in food production.
Her presentation takes place at 7:00 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center on the SDSU campus.
There is no charge to attend the event, but a free-will donation of canned goods for the Brookings Food Pantry is appreciated.
As society moves farther and farther away from modern production agriculture, it creates a potential disconnect between the people who raise the food and the ones that consume it, explains Madelyn Regier, SDSU Swine Club president and an agricultural education and animal science major. The SDSU Swine Club believes that it is essential for consumers and the general public to better understand modern agriculture so we can all work together in feeding the worlds growing population in a safe and sustainable manner.
Julie Borlaug is the granddaughter of Norman E. Borlaug, known as the father of the Green Revolution. She serves as the assistant director of partnerships at the Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture at Texas A&M University.
Since the passing of her grandfather, Julie has worked to continue his legacy through developing agricultural partnerships between public, private and philanthropic groups to further the Borlaug legacy and expand upon his mission to feed the worlds hungry. She has spent her career in the nonprofit sector and has worked for organizations such as the Salvation Army and the American Cancer Society as director of development. She recently transitioned into her new role as assistant director of partnerships in order to champion her grandfathers legacy and lend a voice to his desire to create more successful collaborative partnerships between the public and private sectors in order to ensure the continuation of breakthroughs in international agriculture.
Co-sponsors of this event include the South Dakota Pork Producers Council, the SDSU College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences, the South Dakota Farm Bureau, the South Dakota Soybean Research & Promotion Council, the South Dakota Wheat Commission, and SDSU Collegiate FFA.
The SDSU Swine Club is a student-led organization dedicated to generating interest, building understanding and providing opportunities for growth in the swine industry.
