2nd Annual Agriculture Impact Summit
The 2nd Annual Agriculture Impact Summit is a free, one-day NYC food-system conversation for farmers, food entrepreneurs, city leaders, and young people — where you can connect with city agencies, growers, and agribusinesses around one simple, honest question: How's Ag Doing? Because the people who grow and distribute our food deserve real answers.
The Summit brings together growers, food entrepreneurs, youth, educators, and community leaders to explore the future of agriculture, food systems, and agribusiness innovation. This is a place to learn, connect, and work together across different ages and fields — through panel discussions, interactive sessions, and networking focused on agriculture, technology, business development, and community solutions.
Whether you grow food, run a food business, teach, or are exploring a career in agriculture, this Summit gives you useful information and real connections.
