On November 29 and 30, the Unconventional Ag team converged in Minneapolis to host the Unconventional Ag conference, welcoming nearly 250 attendees and 20 exhibitors. Dozens of industry-expert speakers, such as David Hightower of The Hightower Report, Ryan Koory of Mercaris and Mark Gutierrez of the Minnesota Soil Health Coalition, discussed up-to-the-minute topics: the effect on grains from the war in Ukraine, price volatility, innovations in plant-based and cellular proteins and more. This event was newly renamed this year (previously called the Organic & Non-GMO Forum), and expanded to include more on regenerative and sustainable ag methods and emerging markets related to specialty oilseeds, grains and their bi-products.
Many thanks to our supportive sponsors - from Consolidated Grain and Barge Company to Envirologix to Scoular - and the more than 150 attending companies.
Coverage of this event included video interviews with RFD-TV with co-chair Peter Golbitz of Agromeris and event director Carrie Vita, and multiple postings in ag publications. See below for a sample.
