On Tuesday, July 26, 2016, the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) in collaboration with the Farm and Food Alliance of Minnesota, will host a panel discussion, “A Celebration of Minnesota’s Waters,” on water quality and surrounding issues. The goal of the Dialogue is to share successful tools and tactics being used by farmers to reduce run-off, improve water quality and learn about ways to use water more effectively.

According to the organizations, water quality is a top-of-mind issue for residents in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Concerns about conservation, usage and sustainability as it relates to food production are just a few of the topics that are being discussed. Agriculture has received much of the blame for water quality concerns even though the industry is taking a leading role around improving water quality.

While this event is geared toward young professionals and interns in the Twin Cities, it offers a unique opportunity to engage for all people interested in water quality issues. The event is taking place July 26 from 2:00-4:00 pm with registration and networking beginning at 1:00 pm at the Weisman Art Museum, 333 E River Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55455.
