“Sustainability”
has become a buzzword, overused and often misunderstood. While resource
conservation and environmental protection are important components, long-run
economic viability and social responsibility are also essential factors to
developing and maintaining a sustainable farm or agribusiness.
Join us for a webinar series developed by the Virginia Tech
Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics as we get to the heart of what
sustainability is and what it looks like for your farm and agribusiness.
We will share insights on how to improve your farm’s or
agribusiness’ economic, environmental, and social responsibility and to market
the sustainable practices you undertake. The content we will present draws on
current and cutting-edge research findings on sustainable farms and food
generated by researchers and industry partners within Virginia’s
SmartFarm Innovation Network. The program will support both beginning
farmers in search of basic information about business management, and long-time
farmers seeking to improve their economic viability, environmental
sustainability, or social responsibility. Please register for each webinar you
would like to attend by visiting the program website.
