Sustainable agriculture supports local communities through production of safe, local and nutritious foods with few negative environmental impacts. It promotes economic development at many levels in the community, fostering connections between growers and consumers. This conference will feature speakers addressing the expansion of this home grown industry, opportunities for production, and ways to network for making food easily accessible to community consumers and economically successful as a business.

This Forum is for all members of our community, including Elon, other academic institutions, local government, local businesses, builders, developers, educators and citizens with a vision for a sustainable community.
