Tour Agenda
Building Bridges:
Indiana's Past, Present and Future in Conservation Agriculture
Through conservation partnerships, bringing people together and sharing information, CTIC helps build bridges to advance conservation. Those bridges connect policymakers to farmers, agriculture to its non-farm neighbors, and the many links in a value chain that reaches from heartland farms all the way to the consumer. The bridges also connect the past, present and future in Indiana’s productive and diverse agriculture industry.
