The Research Symposium is an online gathering where EFAO members share their findings and insights from the 2025 research season.

This year you will hear about multi-farm trials involved in the Living Lab-Ontario project, including:

Along with farmer-led research projects focused on:

• Leaves as mulch
• Polycultures with cucumbers
• Landrace watermelon evaluation
• Intracanopy lighting for tomatoes
• Landrace maxima squash
• Interplanting with mushrooms
• Luffas growing methods

Free admission to the research symposium is included with a pass to the 2025 Annual EFAO Conference. If you are interested in learning more and registering for this year’s gathering, please visit the conference page. 

In order to make our training and community building events accessible to all farmers and future farmers in Ontario, EFAO strives to reduce financial barriers for registration by using a Pay What You Can model. To register please complete this form!
