“Earlier this month I ventured down to the nation’s capital to attend Meeting the Demand: Growing Markets for Sustainable Meat and Dairy Production, a conference organized by the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR).

Lots of big ideas; lots of inspiring solutions.

Rather than burden you with a whole lot of extra words, I have compiled a list of 31 facts/thoughts/themes from the conference. Why 31? Because it’s a prime number, silly.
