From our intensive all-day Eco-Ag U workshops that start our conference to our shorter sessions on Days 3 and 4, each has a specific ROI that you can apply immediately back home. In addition, our keynote speakers are changing the world, and are helping us connect the work we do in our operations to the global goal of a healthy, mature society.

Learn why he still grows these crops despite counting on his perennial crops 100% for his business. Also, learn how Mark helps farmers mitigate other risks in today’s challenging world with his approach to perennial, well-rounded systems.
