The Sustainable Agronomy Conference - What's it about?

It's about connections and sharing the science behind sustainability!

The Sustainable Agronomy Conference began as an in-person conference, but the conference has since taken off as a virtual event with international participation. This series brings together people who are interested in promoting sustainability in their respective lives and places of work. The typical audience includes Certified Professionals, industry leaders, academics, educators, students, consultants, and other agronomic professionals, together representing over 50 countries. The format is typically several 2-hour sessions, held weekly in the summer months (July to August).
