Dr. Ashley Johnson has joined the National Pork Producers Council as director of food policy. In her new role, she’ll focus on developing and implementing post-harvest food safety and human nutrition programs and addressing animal care issues in market channels. “Her wealth of knowledge is a tremendous asset as we help set the direction of the country’s food policies and weigh in on issues that could affect producers’ ability to produce safe, nutritious pork for consumers around the world,” says NPPC CEO Bryan Humphreys. Johnson comes to NPPC from Zoetis (zo-EH-tis), where she was a technical service veterinarian for more than five years. Among her many duties, she worked with the animal health company’s public affairs department to disseminate information to its pork team and customers on legislation and regulatory actions that could affect the pork industry. Johnson earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.
