2023 Northeast Latino/a/x Agricultural Community Conference - Registration form for Legislators

The 2023 Northeast Latino/a/x Agricultural Community Conference to be held in Latham, New York on December 7-8 will bring together farmers, supervisors, employees, service providers, and researchers to strengthen networks and relationships in the Latino/a/x community at multiple levels. Plans for the event began based on needs expressed by Latino/a/x farmers in New York State. It aims to be a welcoming space for Spanish-first members of our agricultural community to gather, imagine, learn, grow and celebrate together. This two-day event will be primarily conducted in Spanish. The conference will begin with a luncheon at 12 PM on Thursday, December 7 and close at 1 PM on Friday, December 8. Topics will include farm finances, access to markets and capital, farm management, strategic decision-making, and community building.
