NESAWG’s annual It Takes a Region Conference brings together farm and food practitioners across the 12-state Northeast region to learn, debate, collaborate, and innovate ideas and solutions to critical food systems issues. Our 2019 conference will be held November 7-9th at New Jersey City University in Jersey City, NJ.

The annual conference is widely regarded as the conference for anyone doing food system change work in any Northeast state. Hundreds of practitioners convene not only for workshops, plenaries and networking, but to roll up their sleeves and do the real work needed to create a just and fair regional food system in several work group sessions. Explore their most recent conference, read the full 2018 conference report, and join their newsletter for regular updates.

This year, NESAWG is instituting an optional tiered pricing structure. They offer suggestions for each ticket price, but leave it to you to purchase the ticket that works best for your individual or organizational budget. To learn more about the new pricing structure, visit the registration info page on their website.

NESAWG offers scholarships to help make our conference accessible to youth, students, farmers, and low-income people.
