Keynote Speaker
Michele Payn of Cause Matters will be speaking on resiliency in agriculture focusing on mental health and self-care.
Michele will help you stand up and celebrate the people, promise and passion in our business. Laugh and cry while celebrating work from the farm gate to the consumer plate. Find inspiration for agriculture from one of our own. You'll find new "fighting moves" that will get you thinking about our opportunity for the conversation around the plate in this keynote.
Michele, a certified speaking professional, connects the people and science of food and farming as principal of Cause Matters Corp. She is known for being a community catalyst, a passionate advocate for global agriculture—and antagonizing people into action.
