What is the best way to ensure a thriving local food system in the Mid-South region?
Please join us for the 2020 Mid-South Farm to Table Conference on March 2nd at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, TN. This annual conference brings together local and regional farmers, food justice advocates, educators, non-profit leaders, and consumers. Please add your voice and contribute to building a better local food system through your participation in this conference.
The Mid-South Farm to Table Conference was established in 2011 with the vision that a thriving local food system will strengthen farmer livelihoods by connecting more farmers to local consumers, improve access to fresh produce, increase healthy food consumption, and stimulate economic development and job creation in the region. Last February, over 150 people attended the 2019 Mid-South Farm to Table Conference for a full day of lectures, panels, and networking. On March 2, 2020, we will continue to grow together with a special focus on conservation and regenerative agriculture. We are thrilled to announce our 2020 keynote speakers: David R. Montgomery and Anne Biklé, the authors of three books relevant to regenerative farming: Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations (2012); The Hidden Half of Nature: The Microbial Roots of Life and Health (2016), and, most recently, Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life (2018), which outlines the way current farming practices can be transformed to improve soil health and restore soil fertility.
