Harvest the Future is an annual gathering designed as a platform for sharing the latest advancements and initiatives in small scale climate-smart agriculture. Each year a diverse group of experts and distinguished thinkers will explore the challenges and opportunities climate-smart agriculture offers to enhance human well-being while protecting the environment. This inaugural symposium will focus on important projects in aquaponics that are providing sustainable food sources as well as jobs and hope for communities that struggle under difficult circumstances. Keynote speakers will also address issues of nutrition and health, climate action, and poverty.
Join us in this unique collaborative environment to share important knowledge and expertise across academic disciplines and geographic boundaries. Harvest the Future is an opportunity to network and to be involved in projects that offers substantive benefits for people and the planet during a time of unprecedented environmental change.
