"Mythbusting the Grocery Aisle" 

Michelle Miller, the "Farm Babe" 

In a world where people are bombarded with confusing food labels, how many of them hold merit? Are we watering down labels and eroding consumer trust? Farmers of all sizes and labels have a beautiful story to tell - how do we better communicate what it is we do on our farms every day? Join us as we strengthen the message of modern agriculture while taking a bite out of popular media myths.


"Beyond the Buzzwords: Cryptocurrency and Artificial Intelligence"

Kristina Schaefer, EVP | Chief Risk Officer & Chief Administrative Officer, First Bank & Trust


"Trial, and trial again: SDSU Flower Trial Updates (and how to try this at home!)"

Kristine Lan, SDSU Extension Consumer Horticulture Specialist"


"Farm Lessons About the Good Life" 

Sarah Ciavarri, Executive Coach and Author 

We hear a lot these days about living the good life and living your best life. But what if that doesn't mean what social media often portrays it to be? What if living the good life is something deeper, like seeds planted in rich soil, about how we treat others, how we keep going after tremendous setbacks, and how we take the long view? What if life lessons for living the good life are found on the farm?
