2020 WFAN Annual Conference – Cultivating (Bio)diversity: Seeding Our stories, Growing Our power.

The Women Food and Agriculture Network (WFAN) will host our virtual 2020 conference on the web platform, Whova. Conference participants will gather in a space designed to foster connection and community. We are excited to offer seventeen different workshops, affinity groups, a movie night, yoga sessions, and more! Please join us in this time of both reflection and action planning together.

The Women, Food, and Agriculture Network offers a platform, with our conference, to advocate and agitate for social transformation in our lives, communities, and shared work. We are committing to the following statements as our guiding 2020 WFAN Conference principles–and we invite you to join us. Our conference will:

1. Build and strengthen anti-oppression knowledge, initiatives, and action through training, reflection, and collaboration.

2. Provide practical farm-based educational opportunities for beginning through seasoned agrarians, landowners, and food systems advocates.

3. Increase our capacity as land caretakers to define, create, and implement practices rooted in ecological justice.

4. Offer intentional spaces for critical dialogue, networking, coalition building, and story-sharing.
