This year’s conference theme is "Rooting Health in the Soil". Programming is built on four pillars:
-
FARMERS AS FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS
-
SOIL IS MEDICINE: THE ROLE OF REGENERATIVE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IN FOOD AS MEDICINE
-
INVESTING IN LIFE-LONG HEALTH: REGENERATIVE FOOD WAYS & EQUITABLE, ACCESSIBLE, COMMUNITY-CENTERED FOOD AS MEDICINE
-
ROOT TO RISE: APPLYING A REGENERATIVE HEALTHCARE FRAMEWORK TO SYSTEM’S CHANGE
The Regenerative Healthcare Conference will feature a diverse array of speakers–-from farmers to physicians–-who are on the leading edge of transforming our world for the better.
Attendees will have an immersive, hands-in-the-soil learning experience, connecting the dots between the health of Earth’s microbiome (the soil) and our own gut microbiome. The conference will include organic farm-to-table meals prepared by Chefs, featuring produce grown on-site at Rodale Institute.
