Our Climate Futures: Cultivating Sustainable Food Systems
The Our Climate Futures conference will take place on March 26 & 27th, 2026. The Our Climate Future's Conference will take place on March 26 & 27th, 2026. Our goal is to strengthen regional networks and innovate practices that support sustainable food system security in our changing climate. The first day of the conference will be held at UMD and will feature panels, workshops, and presentations focusing on the different parts of a food system. The second day will take place at the Zeitgeist and focus on the work that Humanities for Food Justice is doing, including a documentary viewing and a panel of community experts. By integrating scientific research with community-based knowledge and experience, we anticipate that this event will produce actionable recommendations tailored to the unique challenges faced in our region. This Event is free to attend and open to the general public.
