Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, will host a student-focused conference on sustainable agriculture on March 31 and April 1, 2012. One of the keynote speakers is John Ikerd, a noted author and longtime advocate of sustainable farming; I’ve assigned some of his writings in my SUST and PLS classes.

See this post on the Schaumburg’s Sustainable Future blog for more details on the conference and how to register. It’s cheap ($30) and includes food and lodging. Very cool stuff is on the conference slate for people interested in community/college gardens and farms, sustainable agriculture, etc.
