In partnership with the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, we are proud to announce the second annual Ag for All conference, bringing together Minnesota’s LGBTQIA+ agriculturalists and their allies.
This year's theme, Pride in Every Field, celebrates how LGBTQIA+ people in agriculture have taken root, are growing stronger, and are shaping the future of food and farming across Minnesota and beyond. Among the nation’s first LGBTQIA+ farming conferences, Ag for All provides a platform to connect, learn, and share experiences among individuals working across various agricultural and specialty food production enterprises.
