Rescheduled webinar
Presentation Title: The Ecosystem Elements of Potato Sustainability.
Date: Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at 4:00pm EST (USA/Toronto)
Presenter: John Mesko, CEO, Potato Sustainability Alliance (PSA)
Presentation Description: Metrics alone are insufficient to tell a coherent, meaningful sustainability story for potatoes. PSA is delivering a comprehensive sustainability program which meets farmers where they are and tells a full story of how they are sustainable.
Presenter: John Mesko, CEO, Potato Sustainability Alliance
Rooted in an understanding of food and farming, John Mesko has been advancing agricultural sustainability for over 25 years, working with supply chain partners to help farmers learn about, evaluate, and choose farming practices which make sense for their bottom line.
As the President and CEO of the Potato Sustainability Alliance, John and his team are collecting and reporting data and information which help to tell the unique story of potato sustainability. He speaks regularly about agricultural sustainability and is the host of the Resource Positive Agriculture podcast.
