In this podcast, Lance Atwater, who has been an intern with the Nebraska Corn Board over the last year, provides some information and details on the Husker Food Connection.Atwater (@latwater1) said Husker Food Connection took place on the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s city campus.
"The purpose was to have students with ag backgrounds interact with non-ag students and explain and discuss where food comes from," he said. "It was also a good opportunity to put a face on all the farmers and ranchers students hear so much about."
He said this is important because most people are two or three generations removed from the farm. "They’ve never experienced agriculture and in some ways, how food ends up on the table is a mystery," he said.
To pull off the event, about 80 volunteers from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources took time to work with their peers. For more details, click the icon above to listen to the podcast.
