UND hosts Space Ag Conference on April 14

UND will host a Space Ag Conference from noon to 5 p.m. Thursday, April 14, in the Memorial Union.

Space Ag is a half-day conference energized by Grand Farm and in partnership with the University of North Dakota that will explore advanced agriculture technologies to elevate the future of the AgTech industry in space. This conference will be in-person but will have a virtual option available.

The world’s food production system is undergoing a dramatic shift toward sustainable food practices and increased food security. Space agriculture, and the technology it creates, could catalyze the development of high-yield crop production that requires less land and less energy, providing farmers with the ability to create more with less.

At Space Ag Conference, we’re going to discuss what it will take to accelerate innovation and move forward with the AgTech industry. And often, solving for challenges in Space can help solve challenges on earth.

Free for all students, faculty, and staff to attend by using promo code “student.” Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/space-ag-conference-tickets-261584966677.
