We’re at a timely moment where opportunity meets collective will to act on pressing challenges, deepen cross-sector relationships, and spark insight on what matters most to farmers, ranchers and value chain leaders. Three cross-cutting Action Tracks will bring us forward together for the Honor the Harvest Forum 2021.
How do we accelerate support for the Decade of Ag, propel the sector forward together, pre-competitively in ways that work for producers and the value chain as a whole?
How to attract and leverage corporate + public capital to new markets (e.g. soil health, carbon sequestration and storage, food security, ecosystem services) to positively move to low carbon / climate smart production, build US leadership, and ensure investments lift everyone?
How might we create pre-competitive data frameworks that propels better climate adaptation science, enable new and traditional tools for farmers and ranchers at all scales, and demonstrate continuous improvement for the supply chain?
A fundamental premise of the Honor the Harvest Forum is that the whole system must participate in creating change at the system level. The selection criteria for the forum was designed to ensure balance with multiple stakeholders and industry leadership. The primary objective is to establish a fellowship community and while this is virtual, #LeadershipinAction is critical. Your participation is needed to inspire and build upon this community and take action.
To maximize engagement, we’ve designed a swift, action-oriented, entirely virtual forum with three efficient and timely elements to drive insight, and progress.
