The Emerging Farmers Conference is an experience-based conference designed with farmers, for farmers. EFC equips and empowers participants with tools to build a sustainable farm business with a strong focus on farmers who traditionally face barriers, including immigrant farmers, native farmers, and farmers of color. Submit proposals by May 1, 2026.
The Emerging Farmers Conference is an immersive, hands-on learning event. Presentations with interactive elements, live skill demonstrations, and visual components are preferred. We look for sessions led by farmers or co-presented with farmers, prioritizing sessions led by farmers who traditionally face barriers. We also prioritize topics centered around sustainable farming methods.
The deadline to submit proposals is Friday May 1, 2026. |
