Northern Plains Food & Farming Conference
January 21, 2021 - January 23, 2021
Building Success Through Partnerships is the theme this year. In recent years, we have gained a greater awareness of the amazing web underneath our feet, connecting and nurturing all of life on earth. Vast networks are established in this process from one plant to another.
In forests, for instance, trees share nutrient resources from one tree to another. The single tree becomes part of a productive network that supports the health of the whole diverse community of plants and shrubs. And we now know that diverse species of cover crops significantly advance soil health over mono-cropping of cover crops or field crops. Sustainable communities are like that. The better connected one farm is to another, one business is to another, the greater the health for all.
Joining us virtually for the NPSAS Annual Winter Conference is your opportunity to nurture your network of friends among other farmers who share your goals. Reach out past the limits of the technology to find ways to share your vision, hopes, and dreams and that will give you nourishment until we can be together in real-time again, hopefully next year.
