2008 March > Organic Conference & Expo

The theme of this year's conference was "Building Sustainable Organic Business." The four-day event looked at how farmers can transition into growing crops for organic agriculture. One of North America's longest-running organic events, the conference was started in 1982 by two international students studying agriculture at U of G. The annual event now attracts organic farmers, retailers, wholesalers, government officials and motivated consumers from across the continent.
