SISA 2012 Keynote: John E. Ikerd

The SISA 2012 conference staff attended the Wisconsin Forum on Rural and Urban Agriculture put on by Sustain Rural Wisconsin on November 11th and 12th. John Ikerd gave an introductory keynote address titled "How Did We Get Here? Where Are We Going? Growing Together in Strength." Needless to say, we were impressed. As we correspond with John and discuss the topics he will address at the SISA conference we are confident that the result will inspire further action and innovation in our own lives as well as the lives of our guests.

As the conference approaches we will post more information about the keynote address.
