This year’s EFAO Conference theme, Regrowth, is a reflection on how EFAO and its members have grown and changed throughout the last three years. It is also an homage to the many ways ecological farmers seek to work within natural cycles. From the necessity of pruning to the beauty of compost, ecological farmers understand that aligning with natural cycles of life and death is paramount to addressing our planet’s ecological crises. As we take time to reflect, learn, and grow, EFAO hopes to foster new ways to connect, build community, and share learning. We hope that out of these strange times come many opportunities for us all to experience life-giving regrowth.
