Business Evolution and Succession

Conference Session 3’s objective is to create connections among farmers with similar challenges related to business adaptation/evolution and provide hope for navigating these challenges. We will define know, common barriers to peri-urban farm business evolution and provide an understanding of policies and regulations that allow or suppress individual business success. Guest speakers and group discussions will be centered around understanding classic and innovative models of peri-urban farm business adaptation/evolution and business structures including navigating multigenerational farm business transitions and shifts in farm business market-focus.
