Sustainable Agriculture conjures up different meanings. The way food is produced has changed in the last century. Advancements in technologies have increased production, but chemical inputs have been implicated in human and environmental health issues. Learn about different perspectives on sustainable agriculture in this comprehensive two-day workshop on The Sustainable Table. Tour Earth Dance Organic Farms on day one and Monsanto’s Agronomics and Breeding Facility on day two. Everyone has a bite in the future of how food is grown.
