Thank you to everyone who attended our 42nd annual Winter Conference, either virtually or in person at UVM's Davis Center in Burlington, on February 17th and 18th, 2024! This year's Winter Conference invited us all to look at upstream solutions to the most pressing food, land, and agriculture issues of our time. The event included over 40 workshops on topics from cover cropping to farm bill advocacy, special meet-ups, roundtable discussions, community art making, an exhibitors fair, live music, and a keynote speech from renowned farmer and leader Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin.
