Organic Grower Summit, presented by Western Growers and Organic Produce Network, announced its latest session: “Regenerative—What Does it Mean for Organic?”

Described as an alternative means of producing food, regenerative agriculture is designed to prioritize soil health and create farm systems that work in harmony with nature to improve the quality of life.

Jessy Beckett Parr, Chief Program Officer, California Certified Organic Farmers“As an organic community, we need to stay informed and integrated into the regenerative conversation. And as market forces push for the adoption of regenerative claims and language, what does this mean for the organic brand and label?” said Parr. “This panel will address the trends and standards of regenerative organic marketing and certification.”

The sold-out trade show floor will feature soil amendment, ag tech, food safety, packaging, and equipment exhibitors, according to a press release. OGS 2023 will be held November 29–30 at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa in Monterey, California.

We hope to see you there!
