A sustainable farming conference will be held in Humboldt, Sask., Dec. 8-10.
Hart Haidn, chair of the Canadian Centre for Sustainable Agriculture Inc., expects to attract both organic and conventional farmers looking for alternatives.
The emphasis will be on sustainability, not organic.
“Organic is not necessarily sustainable, and more and more farmers are realizing this.”
Saskatchewan Agriculture will conduct a needs assessment workshop in areas of marketing, technology transfer, risk management, and research and development.
The conference is called Exploring Sustainable Alternatives: It Can Be Done.
For information, phone Haidn at 306-956-0832, or check the website www.agricola.homepage.com.
