Organic Producer Listening Sessions at MOFGA Farmer to Farmer Conference
February 9 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST
Join the Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) at Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners (MOFGA)’s Farmer to Farmer Conference in Portland, Maine, for an interactive listening session to identify and prioritize the most pressing research needs for organic farmers and ranchers.
Your insights will directly inform researchers, helping them focus on the issues that matter most to you. The conversation will center on research and information needs, changing environmental and economic conditions, and evolving challenges for organic producers. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss a number of research topics, such as seed and plant breeding, soil health, livestock welfare, and economic barriers to organic production. Information from this listening session will be incorporated into OFRF’s next Regional and National Organic Needs Agenda, which will be used by organic advocates, researchers, and policymakers to support organic initiatives across the US.
Conference dates are February 8-9, 2026.
The Organic Producer Listening Sessions will be held on Monday, February 9, at lunchtime.
