As a young and aspiring farmer, the conference exposed me to just what I needed: experienced mentors and progressive ideas. With how much there was to offer, I would only encourage people to attend this conference every year.

About
Roots of Renewal
Roots of Renewal brings together farmers, ranchers, agricultural professionals, conservation practitioners, educators, and community members from across Colorado's Western Slope and beyond to share practical solutions that strengthen agricultural businesses, healthy soils, water resources, and resilient communities.
Through keynote presentations, workshops, and producer-led sessions, attendees explore regionally relevant strategies for crop and livestock production, water management, soil health, marketing, labor, specialty crops, and other topics that help agricultural operations adapt and thrive.
Roots of Renewal was created in 2023 through the merger of the Western Colorado Soil Health Conference and the Food & Farm Forum, combining two long-standing events into one collaborative gathering focused on the future of agriculture in our region.
OUR HOST AGENCIES
Roots of Renewal seeks to promote the stewardship and development of our most precious resources - people, soil, and water - with the aim of advancing viable farms and ranches on Colorado’s Western Slope.
