Join us for a webinar on August 14!

In this webinar, Dr. Ben Campbell of the University of Connecticut will discuss the value of local and organic labels on the likelihood of consumers purchasing plants, as well as their willingness to pay any price premiums for them. Are there segments of consumers that would respond more positively to these attributes? Does it make a difference if we’re talking about edibles versus ornamentals? Join us in this webinar to find out the answers to these questions and more!
