Instead of traveling to 26 different countries to hear about the deregulation of South African dairy farmers or the sustainable practices of farms set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, IFMA 17 delegates can simply travel across the street to breakout sessions on the Illinois State University campus.

With several broad categories to choose from, ranging from farm management to marketing and trade, delegates are guaranteed to find a topic that sparks their interest or match their specialization.

Different academic voices present their papers for 20 minutes. There were a total of 39 presentations on Monday afternoon.

If interested in hearing one of 33 more global agriculture discussions, attend the IFMA 17 Congress on Wednesday afternoon at Illinois State University.

Bloomington, Ill. is only the second U.S. city to host this event in the Congress’ 38 year history. For a review of the complete itinerary, visit: http://imfa17.org.
