2023 Family Farm Alliance Annual Conference

Theme: A Wake Up Call for America: Why Farms, Water, and Food Matter

America gave up domestic manufacturing over the last several decades leading to global trade deals that resulted in diminished national security. Are we now headed for a crisis, which will lead to the loss of domestic food production, inevitably leading to a complete collapse of our national security?

We cannot continue long-term hypothetical processes that focus primarily on the continued conservation and downsizing of Western agriculture. As we teeter on the brink of recession and global famine, the stability of the domestic food supply becomes even more pressing.

Our irrigated system of agriculture in the West can provide the most stable food supply in the world –– if we let it.

The 2023 Annual Meeting and Conference is an opportunity for producers, policymakers, and water professionals from throughout the West to focus on topics of critical concern. A wide variety of speakers will take on the issues that make a difference to irrigators. Members of Congress and their staff, Administration officials, and representatives from constructive NGOs are regulars on the program.
