Organics in a Changing Climate: Cross-Country Perspectives

Nov 29, 2023

We are thrilled to share that the 2024 Guelph Organic Conference’s keynote panel, “Organics in a Changing Climate: Cross-Country Perspectives,” will bring together four expert speakers from across Canada to share their unique perspectives on our conference theme, “Bring Organic Home.”

Join us on Thursday, January 25th to be part of an inspiring discussion on vital topics impacting the organic sector and its future, including economic resilience, the fight against greenwashing, the state of imports, building the sector while preserving its roots, and the effects of the standardization of “regenerative agriculture.”

The keynote panel will take place during the Organic Reception event at the Guelph Delta Hotel’s ballroom, where you’ll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and discuss the organic sector’s future. The reception will begin at 5:00 PM, followed by the keynote at 6:30 PM, and a Q&A session, concluding at 8:00 PM. We hope to see you there!
