2021 Trust in Food Symposium
Date: Tuesday, February 23, 2021 - Thursday, February 25, 2021
Time:
Now is a moment unlike any in recent memory. Against this backdrop, our country’s food system – from producers to consumers – appears to be rapidly evolving, as well. How are US farmers and ranchers responding, and what’s ahead for agriculture? Out of the disruption of 2020, can a new system emerge that helps farmers move towards more regenerative practices, and add revenue streams from carbon markets and other ecosystem services?
From Feb. 23-25, the 2021 Trust In Food Symposium: Regenerative Reset will help leaders from farms, agribusinesses, conservation organizations, farmer associations, food companies, food retail, government agencies and other sectors make sense of the changing landscape and position themselves for success. The Land Institute’s Tim Crews and Rachel Stroer speak on Thursday, February 25.
