Change happens when people fight for it, and organic farmers are uniquely positioned to fight for a healthier and more sustainable food system. Join us for a practical workshop on how to become a more effective advocate for organic agriculture. Whether it’s meeting with an elected official, addressing a community group, hosting a field day on your farm, or writing an article for your local newspaper, you can help build support for organic farming and your own operation.

Gillian and Brent will bring real-life examples from their work with Canadian Organic Growers and Farmers for Climate Solutions, as well as their 20+ years running a profitable organic farm. Learn practical communications skills, farmer-led advocacy strategies and the secret to crafting an effective argument, regardless of the audience.

This session is sponsored by the New Farm Centre.
