We are very fortunate to have two excellent local host organizations welcoming us to New Mexico in 2026.
They have each planned fantastic farm and food business tours for us during NFVC, so we can learn about their work on the ground and New Mexico agriculture!

Nina Katz, Education and Outreach Project Manager at Quivira CoalitionFor more than 25 years, Quivira Coalition has envisioned a world where regenerative agriculture is a crucial part of our food systems, land stewardship, and solutions to climate change, cultivating hope, innovation, education, and collaboration as the foundation from which soil is restored and relationships are grown. The Coalition's programs include the New Young Agrarian Program, an apprenticeship program for beginning ranchers; the Carbon Ranch Initiative, which builds the capacity of ranchers, farmers, and land managers to implement stewardship practices focused on climate mitigation and adaptation; an Education and Outreach Program; and the annual REGENERATE Conference. Quivira conducts all of its work in practice of the "radical center," a space for collaborative problem solving that welcomes diverse perspectives.
