Ready to spark change, share ideas, and connect with people who care about making a difference?
The Do Good Conversation Series is your front-row seat to real talk about sustainability, community, and how we can all do a little more good—together.
This isn’t your typical panel discussion. We are bringing different industries to the table to reconsider what it means to Do Good. We’re committed to offering fresh perspectives by featuring cross-industry panels and amplifying voices that aren’t typically included in sustainability conversations. Think engaging speakers, meaningful conversations, and practical takeaways that you can actually use.
Join us quarterly for inspiring stories, actionable insights, and a chance to connect with like-minded do-gooders. Because doing good doesn’t have to be complicated—it starts with conversations that matter.
The Future of Food is at Stake
Farm to Fable
Tuesday, May 6
5:30-7:30pm

For years, the phrase farm to table has symbolized a transparent and sustainable connection between food producers and consumers. But as the landscape of agriculture shifts under mounting pressures—climate change, corporate consolidation, labor shortages, and the limitations of small-scale farming—the idyllic farm-to-table story is at risk of becoming more fable than fact.
Across the country, aging farmers are struggling to keep their land, young growers are unable to break into the industry, and consumers are left wondering where their food truly comes from. Meanwhile, large-scale agribusiness, global trade policies, and climate disruptions are reshaping the future of food in ways we can no longer afford to ignore.
So, what does this mean for the farms, food systems, and sustainability efforts we’ve come to depend on? Join us as we separate fact from fiction, challenge the status quo, and plant the seeds for a more sustainable and just food future. Because when it comes to the future of farming, everything is at stake.
Speakers will be announced on confirmation.
