SUMMARY:2025 SAFSF Forum
DESCRIPTION:The SAFSF Forum is a unique conference for the full spectrum of funders—including philanthropy\, investors\, community finance\, and intermediaries—to engage with peers\, movement leaders\, and practitioners across the country around a shared mission for equitable and sustainable food and agriculture.   \n\n\n\nJoin us June 9 – 12 in New Mexico  \n\n\n\nThe 2025 Forum will bring SAFSF’s network to the Southwest for the first time in 20 years.

This year’s Forum envisions systems change rooted in Resilience\, Justice\, and Democracy. Programs will explore ways to achieve climate resilient and environmentally sustainable agriculture\, justice and equitable outcomes for marginalized communities\, and democratic control of food systems. Conference attendees will explore how diverse capital partners can empower frontline communities and strengthen movements for lasting systems change through dynamic sessions on culture and narrative\, policy and advocacy\, tools and infrastructure\, and innovations in capital strategies. \n\n\n\nResilience: Creating food and agriculture systems that can withstand and adapt to challenges like climate change and social disruptions. This involves embracing climate stewardship\, agroecology and regenerative farming\, Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge\, and building strong\, adaptable communities. \n\n\n\nJustice: Transforming food systems to address historical and systemic inequities. This theme focuses on uplifting marginalized communities and ensuring equitable access to resources\, opportunities\, and decision-making power in food and agriculture. \n\n\n\nDemocracy: Empowering communities to have a say in shaping the policies and practices that affect their food systems. This theme emphasizes community-led governance and policy\, participatory decision-making\, movement building\, and civic engagement to create a more inclusive and representative food system. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Rates\n\n\n\nWe are offering a 5% discount on registration for groups of 3 or more when registered and paid in one transaction.
