Agriculture is Addison County’s leading industry; and farming is deeply embedded in our history, traditions and values. Yet agriculture is under threat, and misunderstandings sometimes cause conflict between farmers and community members. In this event, farmers who use different management systems in the county will engage with campus and community members in a dialog about what is being done and what more might be done to support public health, environmental quality, community engagement with agriculture, and viable farming livelihoods, now and in the future.
