About Event

Join the Movement to Transform Our Regional Food System

The Northeast is at a critical crossroads. While our region boasts incredible agricultural heritage and innovative food entrepreneurs, we face urgent challenges: farmers struggling to stay on the land, communities lacking access to fresh, healthy food, and climate change threatening our ability to grow food for future generations.

What to Expect

Hear from Kathleen Finlay of Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming in a keynote that will set the stage for meaningful dialogue and action. Then dive into collaborative breakout sessions designed to surface insights, identify partnership opportunities, and co-create actionable pathways toward a more just, connected, and regenerative regional food system.

Why Attend?

Whether you're farming 5 acres or feeding 5,000 people, managing a food hub or crafting policy, you'll find your people here. Connect with regional leaders who share your commitment to sustainability, equity, and regeneration. Walk away with actionable strategies, unexpected partnerships, and renewed inspiration to tackle the challenges ahead.

The food system we need won't build itself. It will be built by people like you: working together, sharing knowledge, and refusing to go it alone.
