The Columbia Basin has a vibrant food and agriculture sector. You are invited to join us to explore regional agriculture issues, share ideas and knowledge, and build connections with others in the agriculture sector.

Agriculture producers in the region have identified that a key challenge is getting products to market. During this interactive two-day event, attendees will discuss and generate strategies, explore options and define what is needed to support market development for food and agriculture in the Basin.

Key topics include:

• Direct sales and institutional procurement
• Basin-tailored transportation, distribution and storage
• Regional branding
• Value-added production and opportunities.

This event has limited space and we want to ensure a regionally and sectorally diverse group of producers, retailers, restaurateurs and food system representatives. If you are interested in participating, please fill out the event forum before January 16, 2018. Online here or by phone at 1.250.608.0757 or 1.800.505.8998.

We will contact you by January 23, 2018, to confirm your participation.
