Young Farmers Conference Livestream

 

This year’s Young Farmers Conference lineup brings new voices into the mix, including the Boricua organization of Puerto Rico, Soul Fire Farm, and the Peasant Centre, an agroecology school based in Ontario. “Farming while Black” and “Campesino a Campesino” sessions are those being livestreamed, with the full streaming schedule posted below.

 

Select sessions will be streamed on Facebook and YouTube for anyone to watch. But it’s even more fun to watch together! Gather your friends, neighbors, colleagues or students to learn about food and farming and help change the food system by hosting a Young Farmers Conference Livestream watch party in your hometown.
