THE CONVERSATION IS HERE

Mag For Ag' attendees love living life, drinking large formats and eating amazing food - but not just any food. They desire experiences and safe food from family farms, such as heirloom vegetables or heritage breed animals raised by responsible and honest growers. The event focuses on helping ensure heritage and heirloom are available and on the menu in restaurants and small family farms have access to chefs who appreciate their dedication, purpose and passion.

Together we are kickstarting new family farms and hosting interactive discussions around programs that engage children 7-11 years old to start growing food. We will impact local communities, we will inspire youth and we will improve the odds against North America not having enough farmers in the future.

BEING AWARE

As the Farm to Table movement expands, we need a resurgence of family farmers to meet the demand in the next 20 years. We are facing a huge loss of farmers. The aging of Baby Boomers, those born from 1946-1964, is called the “silver tsunami”. By 2030, the number of those 65 or older will more than double and our food system will diversity, independence and variety if we don’t get in front of the conversation.

Losing small family farms raises many concerns about food scarcity.

HOW ARE WE HELPING?

We are leaders in the ‘good food movement’ and we believe that the security of our food is tied closely to how well we care for our planet and all its different life forms.

We need safe and honest food sources! We need new farmers to put safe food back on American tables! Mags for Ag is not about just giving a 'fish' but teaching to 'fish'. Join the discussion about planting seeds to make sure we have farmers for the next generation.
