Fellows announced for The Future of Food and Agriculture

The National Press Foundation has chosen 20 journalists for in-depth training to explore the future of food and agriculture.

Over four days, journalists will hear from experts on the ways food is grown, marketed, sold and, unfortunately, often wasted. They will also learn about controversies over labels, growing methods, GMOs, pesticide and herbicide use, antibiotics, global trade and government regulation.

The training will take place July 24-27, 2016, in St. Louis.
