SUMMARY:Regenerative Approaches to Ag Policy & Governance
DESCRIPTION:Each month\, NFU-MB (Region 5) hosts an online gathering for our members and supporters to connect and explore a relevant topic.\n\nBuilding on our July gathering focused on regenerative agriculture\, this month we explore possibilities for applying regenerative approaches to agricultural policy and governance.\nDana Penrice\, from Holistic Management Canada\, will join us to guide our discussion.
