June 7, 2007 - Dean Foods' Horizon Organic Milk brand is under fire for its industrial farming model. Mark Kastel of the Cornucopia Institute and Steven Heim of Boston Common Asset Management speak about the shareowner engagement they've been conducting with the company, asking why Dean would want to endanger the reputation of its Horizon brand by sourcing milk from factory farms. George Siemon, CEO of Organic Valley, a cooperative that competes with Horizon nationally, talks about the difference between the family farm organic model and the industrial farm organic model, as well as noting some positives that corporations can bring to the sustainability movement. Francesca Rheannon of Writer's Voice co-hosts this edition with Bill Baue.
