A Conference that is gathering Farmers, Researchers, Nutritionists, and Food Activists, bringing forward the interrelatedness of Soil Health, Plant Health, Human Health, and farming best practices for improved crop quality.  The 2016 Soil and Nutrition Conference will begin by asking the important question of, "What is Quality," where the open panel discussion will include perspectives from a farmer, a chef, a hospital food systems specialist, an agriculture extension specialist and a produce supply chain expert to frame our conference dialog.  This open panel discussion will be facilitated by Craftsmanship Magazine Founder & Publisher Todd Oppenheimer.

There are 10 plenary sessions and 16 workshops, over two jam-packed days of February 8 & 9, 2016, with a pre-conference on February 7, 2016. Highlights of the what one will experience at the 2016 Soil & Nutrition Conference are:
