"This was the best conference for 'wealth of information' I've ever attended."
"Love this conference! It's one I greatly look forward to each year. I enjoy the new and more seasoned presenters. I usually catch one of the film screenings - this is the first year I didn't even catch partial - too much to do. Really enjoy the cocktail mingle, meet and greet, the supply of water, the quality of the vendors, speakers. The layout and flow of the whole conference is one of the better ones and why it's easy to come back year after year."
"The vast amount of knowledge at the conference was palpable and I feel fortunate to have learned from some of the leaders in this movement. Thank you for giving Eco Ag a space in the farming world and for giving voice to the regenerative movement. I have so much to think about and apply to my farming operations. THANK YOU!!"
“The Eco-Ag U sessions are why I come and am willing to travel long distance. Very much appreciate being able to go in depth with one presenter for 1 or 2 days."
“Attending this conference has been an absolute game-changer for my farming practices. The depth of information and the quality of the speakers are unparalleled. The networking opportunities were fantastic, and I left with actionable insights and new connections. Can't wait for next year!”

Every year, the Eco-Ag Conference & Trade Show sets a new standard for innovative and practical learning in modern agriculture. This is not your average regenerative farming conference. Eco-Ag is the premier conference for science-based sessions on regenerative agriculture. You will learn techniques and tactics you can immediately take home to the farm and put into practice. Each moment of programming is thoughtfully curated to provide useful, practical and measurable information and connections that you can apply to your operation.
Join us for the main conference and trade show on Dec. 4-5 or decide to come early for one of our incredible full-day Eco-Ag U intensive workshops Dec. 2-3… either way you can expect a fulfilling experience that will include:
Exceptional learning from leading farmers, agronomists, and others who are pioneering a new way to farm ecologically and economically.
Engagement with innovative companies building tools and services to help you surpass your regenerative farming goals.
Connecting with your peers who are also seeking to chart a new path forward for their regenerative operations and with experienced growers and agronomists who have valuable lessons learned and are ready to share.
Stay tuned for our agenda as these sessions come online.
