4th National Women in Sustainable Ag Conference: Cultivating Our Food, Farms and Future

Join colleagues from around the country this November in Des Moines, IA, to network, learn and enjoy the best locally grown foods the Midwest has to offer!

“Women are the fastest-growing segment of new farmers in America, and have been the drivers behind the healthy food and farming movement for decades,” says Leigh Adcock, WFAN executive director. “WFAN’s staff and board are thrilled for the opportunity to host this national conference in the Midwest.” The three prior conferences were held in Pennsylvania and Vermont, and hosted by WFAN’s colleagues at the Women’s Agricultural Networks in those states.

Danielle Nierenberg of Food Tank and Kari Hamerschlag of Environmental Working Group are confirmed keynote speakers. See the sidebar at right for information on their amazing work.

Workshop tracks will include farming, advocacy and land health topics. Click here for the Call for Proposals; the call is open from Feb. 15 through May 15, 2013.
