In the first of a two-part session devoted to Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA), leaders from opposing sides of whether hydroponics should continue to be eligible for organic certification will discuss the current lawsuit filed against the USDA, and what the future of organic hydroponics may look like.

Regenerative agriculture is reshaping the production of how food is grown. In this informative educational session, three large-scale organic specialty crop growers will discuss their involvement with regenerative production, including the challenges, future outlook, and how the retail community may manage and market these products to consumers.
