New Agrarians: How the Next Generation of Leaders Tackle 21st Century Challenges

Across the nation, a new agrarian movement, centered on food and land health, is growing into a dynamic force. Led by youth (including the young-at-heart) and their mentors, this burgeoning movement is tackling some of the most daunting challenges of our time: food security, land restoration, conservation, climate adaptation and sustainable prosperity. In the process, they are overturning traditional paradigms of conservation and agriculture. In this Conference we will hear from a wide variety of new farm, ranch and conservation leaders and their innovative, hands-on ideas and practices that are changing the way we look at the land, our water and ourselves. Courtney White, Executive Director

An Evening with Bill McKibben and Bill deBuys – special fundraiser
Don't miss our special fundraiser at 7:00pm Tuesday, November 8, "Is It Getting Warmer Out There, or Is It Just Me?" - an Evening with Bill McKibben and Bill deBuys on Climate, Land and Livelihoods in the Southwest.

If the Southwest is due to get hotter and drier, as predicted, what are our options? What can we expect? What we can do in the short-and-long run to adapt and mitigate to a changing climate? What are the economic and ecological opportunities and challenges? For answers to these and other questions, please join us for an evening of lively discussion with two of the nation's leading experts as we explore global and local topics of interest to all. After presentations, the discussion will be opened to the audience, moderated by Courtney White of the Quivira Coalition. Don't miss this important event. And bring your questions!
This fundraiser is open to the public. It is not necessary to attend the conference to purchase a ticket.
