Regenerative Agriculture and Food Systems Summit USA 2023. | Kisaco Research | 28 March 2023 | Magnificent Mile, Chicago, IL 60611, USA

Why Attend?

The world’s food system is currently responsible for approximately 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. Calls are growing ever louder that we must take immediate action to not only halt this impact but reverse it and restore our Earth. The expectation for change is taking hold and combatting climate change will take involvement from the whole food chain and collaboration has never been more important. Transitioning to regenerative agriculture must be implemented now.

Join food and beverage brands, ingredients suppliers, food producers, supply chain monitoring platforms, AgTech companies, and consultants to tackle the challenges and identify the opportunities in harnessing the full potential of regenerative agriculture practices in the food industry.

Our mission is to bring together all stakeholders and be a neutral platform that enables open, constructive, and educational discussions to further progress towards the transition to regenerative practices. We believe everyone deserves a seat at the table and that the best way to effectively bring about change is through peer-to-peer sharing, partnership, and collaboration.
