Description
As chronic disease continues to rise, policymakers and advocates are reexamining the connection between how we farm and how we feel. This event will explore the role of agriculture in shaping public health and whether regenerative and sustainable practices can be scaled affordably and reliably. Expert panels will discuss the impacts of industrial farming, the promise and limitations of regenerative models, and the role of innovation and policy in shaping the future of food.
Can healthier farming practices go mainstream without becoming a luxury good? What tools and policies are needed to support farmers in that transition? Join us as we consider what a pro-health, pro-farmer agenda could look like and what it will take to get there.
