We are pleased to announce the Call for Posters for Southern SAWG’s 29th Annual Practical Tools and Solutions for Sustaining Family Farms Conference.
New for 2020! Poster authors will be required to be present at their posters for one 1.5 hour session each day on Friday and on Saturday during the conference. You will be able to talk directly with conference participants about your work PLUS have your poster displayed for two full days during the conference.
Those interested in displaying a poster(s) at this event must first submit a brief abstract for each poster. Only those abstracts approved by Southern SAWG may display posters at this event. We will review all submitted abstracts and make decisions regarding acceptance as abstracts are received. Poster content should be aimed at providing practical tools and solutions for sustaining family farms and creating local food systems.
We invite abstracts for posters that focus on issues related to sustainable agriculture and food systems. In 2020, we especially encourage posters related to soil health, but we also welcome posters including, but not limited to, the following topics:
· organic or sustainable commercial production of vegetable crops, field crops, poultry, livestock, forest crops, fish, cut flowers, value-added products or other specialty crops;
· business and risk management;
· direct or alternative marketing strategies;
· local food systems;
· climate change impacts on agriculture;
· sustainable energy;
· youth in agriculture;
· farms on campus;
· community development
You can view or download the Call for Posters at ssawg.org/call-for-posters.
Abstract submission deadline is November 1, 2019.
Please feel free to contact us at posters@ssawg.org or 479-799-7985 with any questions you may have, and we look forward to receiving your submission!
