The conference offers panel discussions, keynote presentations, cultural programming, and networking opportunities, creating a platform for collaboration, education, and investment in Indigenous agriculture. A special feature includes a high-value training focused on ranching profitability and sustainability, offering hands-on support to emerging and established Indigenous agri-entrepreneurs.
