Resilience and Resistance: Cross-Pollinating Food Movements

About the event

Please note: Registration closes June 13.

This national gathering will bring together food systems leaders, farmers, academics, and advocates to tackle pressing environmental, economic, and health challenges. With over 500 attendees expected, the event will feature inspiring keynote speakers, interactive workshops, local field trips, and networking opportunities—all designed to strengthen and reimagine our food systems movement.

This is more than just a conference; it’s a call to action. Together, we’ll explore strategies for sustainability, democracy, and community resilience while fostering connections across sectors. Whether you’re a nonprofit, farmer, community advocate, local government staff, or academic this is your chance to collaborate, share insights, and lead the charge for a more fair and resilient future. Join us on the urban campus of Portland State University and be part of a transformative event!
