With animal rights activists becoming increasingly bold and aggressive, it’s important for everyone in the food business to prepare to potentially be targeted. In a session titled, “Protecting our Plates: Are You a Target for Activists?,” two experts from the security company AFIMAC, with a combined 42 years of experience in security and investigations, will share current trends in activism, security considerations, and activist tactics.
