Summer Sustainability Series
June 22-26
Portland, OR
Spots for 20 professionals and 15 graduate students
This mobile symposium will venture around Portland and Corvallis, Oregon to key sites up and down the valley.
Join fellow leaders as we wrestle with today’s sustainability challenges in agriculture and food systems from all perspectives – economic, environmental, social – and review real-world solutions.
These five intensive days offers a mix of learning opportunities:
* Site visits, including industry-leading farms, ranches, processors, distributors, retailers and restaurants, following the value chain from seed to consumption.
* Guest speakers, including successful growers, producers, processors, marketing experts, policy makers, and academic researchers.
* Workshops and projects, providing an opportunity for participants to work with program leaders and each other to get hands-on experience working with real-world challenges.
* Classroom time, used sparingly, allowing coverage of innovative solutions in sustainable agriculture, and enabling a dynamic exchange between the participants and leaders.
