Registration is open for the 2023 Water for Food Global Conference, organized by the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute at the University of Nebraska.

The conference, scheduled for May 8-11, at Nebraska Innovation Campus in Lincoln, will focus on innovative ways to improve water and food security by increasing farmers’ resiliency to a changing landscape. A discount of $100 is available to those who register on or before March 13.

The conference, situated in the middle of a living laboratory and atop the vast Great Plains Aquifer, will provide a platform to explore win-win scenarios to support improved water use in agriculture and increase productivity at a variety of scales — from smallholders, collectives and coops to commercial farm operations — while preserving water resources for other human and environmental needs. Additional topic-focused side events, meetings and site tours will round out the conference.
