Preview to the New York Produce Show and Conference

As we typically do this time of year, we wanted to devote a full Pundit to some of the intriguing speakers who will be at The New York Produce Show and Conference and its co-located events beginning next week.
The program starts out on Tuesday, December 10, with the Foundational Excellence Program, which we do jointly with Cornell University.
Here is an article we used to explain the program.

On Wednesday, December 11th, the Global Trade Symposium will commence. You can see a brief video of reactions to the content here:
