The purpose of the regional convention shall be to: \n\nDevelop strategy and action on matters concerning the members residing in the region which is consistent with national policy;\nConsider policies and programs to be recommended to the annual convention;\nElect one member\, or such other number of members as may be assigned from the region\, to the board;\nElect one women’s advisory committee member;\nElect one youth advisory committee member;\nElect one BIPOC advisory committee member;\nElect one International Programs committee member. \n\nAbout Resolutions: \nThe NFU’s Policy Statement compiles all policies — including position statements\, policy recommendations to government\, action directives\, etc. – that have been passed by a majority vote of delegates at previous national conventions. \nEach year members bring forward new policy proposals in the form of resolutions for debate on the floor of the National Convention. Resolutions that pass are added to the NFU Policy Statement. \nPrior to the National Convention\, each NFU Region holds an annual Regional Convention where resolutions are debated and voted upon. Resolutions that have been passed at the regional level come forward to the national Convention.  \nAll members in good standing residing in the region may submit and vote on resolutions.  \nDebate at both regional and national conventions is done according to the rules of order published in Parliamentary Procedure at a Glance\, New Edition by O. Garfield Jones. The goal is to have as many policy resolutions as possible heard and thoroughly debated with the least amount of time wasted.

SUMMARY:Agroecology: Scaling up!
DESCRIPTION:Agroecology seeks to emulate nature in agro-ecosystems. It works in concert with natural flows and cycles and embraces diversity. It has been shown to enhance food production in small scale farming systems with low inputs and in the midst of climatic variability. But what does agroecology look like when scaled up to encompass diversified large crop fields and pastures?  What does it look like when practiced in drier places?  Does it imply or require larger social and economic shifts?  Join us as we delve into how to think of agroecology on a larger scale.

SUMMARY:Colonial Roots of Modern Free Trade Agreements
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the colonial origins of modern international trade. Since the 1990s\, the World Trade Organization\, bilateral investment treaties\, and free trade agreements have governed the international trade and investment regime based on free market ideology\, but geopolitics\, power relations\, and corporate interests have shaped trade rules for over 500 years before they reached their current form. \n\n\n\nThe development of international trade and mercantilism at the dawn of colonialism resulted from an alliance between colonial states and companies that allowed them to shape international trade and investment rules until most states gained their independence after World War II. Today’s free trade practices reflect their colonial legacy\, as the center of the global economy continues to dictate and shape activity in the periphery according to its own interests. A sound assessment of the nature of these trade and investment agreements is essential to addressing the problems they create. \n\n\n\nAdditional resource and background: “How colonialism shaped free trade agreements” by Nicolas Roux.
