NOFA-NY’s ORGANIC RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

 

January 19th-20th, 2012 (preceding and in conjunction with NOFA-NY’s Winter Conference)

 

Come to NOFA-NY’s inaugural Organic Farming Symposium on January 19th and 20th, 2012 at the Saratoga Springs Hilton. Join organic farmers from across the Northeast to hear from over 50 researchers–academics at some of this country’s most respected institutions, on-farm researchers, and PhD students–who will present their latest organic agricultural research projects. Engage in in-depth discussions with researchers and practitioners exploring the latest techniques for a successful organic farm. Share your own experiments and best practices with researchers and farmers.

Topics will cover organic systems for fruit, vegetables, grains, and soil; weed and pest management systems, ruminants and non-ruminants, on-farm research, and the marketing and economics of organic farming. Formats include one-on-one chats with posters, panel sessions, and roundtables.
The goal of this Organic Research Symposium–NOFA-NY’s first ever–is to get farmers and researchers to meet, learn from one another, and collaborate moving forward.
