GUELPH — Organizers of the 29th annual Guelph Organic Conference have lined up dozens of speakers over four consecutive days. Topics of discussion cross the spectrum of our food system: farming as a career, the new Canadian Organic Standards, urban agriculture, genetic engineering and food policy. Introductory and advanced levels of eco-agriculture — soils, crops, weed and insect control, livestock management and direct marketing — round out the programming.

The speakers include successful farmers and educators who are on the cutting edge of progress in harmony with nature. Together, they represent hundreds of years of experiencing the very challenges you might be facing. Whether you farm 80 acres or grow a small garden in your backyard, you’ll find the Organic Conference to be a great value for your money and well worth your time.
