Land O’Lakes is a proud sponsor of the Nobel Peace Prize Forum March 1 through March 3 at University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Land O'Lakes has donated $15,000 to the event which is a premier international gathering designed to inspire peacemaking. Carol Kitchen, senior vice president & general manager, Global Dairy Ingredients, will be participating on a panel which will discuss “Globalization and the Price of Peace.” Kitchen will also lead a workshop on the need to feed 9 billion people.
“Land O’Lakes works locally, nationally and globally to help people build their communities and feed the world,” said Land O’Lakes Foundation Executive Director Lydia Botham. “We are deeply honored to participate in this event, which has recognized the work of so many to build a peace-filled world.
As the Norwegian Nobel Institute’s only affiliation outside Norway, the Nobel Peace Prize Forum has probed the deep questions of peace and conflict for more than 23 years. Each year, this dynamic, global event brings Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, civic leaders, and scholars together with students and other citizens. The Forum has a special mission: to inspire and engage students and citizens to become full participants in peacemaking efforts around the world. The 2012 event will be hosted by Augsburg College in Minneapolis, MN, in partnership with the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School for Public Affairs.
