The Future of Farming: Cultivating the Next Generation of Growers

Marriott, Grand Salon G

What is an industry to do when the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture Census determined that over the last 30 years, the average age of the U.S. farmer has progressed to nearly 58 years old? With an aging faming community and a shifting consumer demand for organic food and transparency in ingredients and supply chain, the question is, what will the future of farming look like, and what does the future farmer look like? Join Elizabeth Candelario, Ron Finley, Nikhil Arora, Alejandro Velez, and Te'Lario Watkins II as they work to inspire a new generation of farmers and communities to re-democratize agriculture and encourage more youth to join the farming community.
