Calling all food systems thinkers, doers, leaders, and advocates! Registration is now open https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nesawgs-25th-annual-it-takes-a-region-conference-tickets-47719297704 for the 25th annual It Takes a Region conference, hosted by the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group in Philadelphia this October 24-26. Come be part of the 500+ person community of food systems leaders, practitioners and advocates working to change the food system. NESAWG’s gathering is an opportunity for building skills, analysis, and networks that move our work out of silos and inboxes and into living connection and tangible food systems change. Whether you’re a farmer or researcher, a young person or an elder, a nonprofit or a small business, this conference has something for you. Scholarships are available for underrepresented groups and those with financial need. Follow this link to the scholarship page.
This year’s theme is Cultivating a Transformative Food System. Together with some of our region’s most compelling leaders we’ll be discussing what it means for our food system to be in right relationship to people, place, and planet. It’s a conversation you won’t hear anywhere else in the food movement, and you won’t want to miss it. Head on over to http://nesawg.org/conference to learn more.
