Hall of Fame
Innovators, trailblazers, mentors, and visionaries in conservation agriculture are integral to who we are at CTIC. Without these leaders, we wouldn’t be where we are.
Therefore, it is fitting that at our flagship event, the Conservation in Action Tour, we pause to recognize those who have laid a foundation for CTIC and conservation agriculture. We are proud to honor these leaders with their induction into the CTIC Hall of Fame.
Nominations are open year-round! Fill out the form below to nominate an outstanding conservation agriculture leader.
