Idaho Environmental Forum is passionate about all of Idaho's environments and is now taking the time to celebrate our agricultural landscapes. The past few decades have enjoyed a shift in agricultural conservation as we, as a society, must balance our need of food and fiber with the ecological impacts of agriculture. From sheep being used to manage vineyards and regenerative farming for soil health, we'll learn about the practices being used to help make our food systems more sustainable, while benefitting our shared ecosystems.
Agriculture is one of many ways we enact our relationship with our environments, and we are excited to celebrate and learn about the conservation practices that are helping make our environments sustainable!
