Group Name: What is the future of agroecological research? Where do we want to be in 25 years and how do we get there? Join us for dinner and discussion of these issues at the farm at the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems at the University of Califonria Santa Cruz. We will begin with wine and cheese appetizers and a tour of the 25-acre teaching and research farm, followed by dinner in the farm orchard with local agricultural researchers. Bring your insight and appetite. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options will be available. Children are welcomed; please note the late return time. Wear sturdy shoes for walking short distances on flat but uneven ground and clothes for layering as the evening cools. Children can attend his trip-dinner.
