The most powerful changes often start small. Change starts when ideas are exchanged between passionate individuals gathered around a table, sharing perspectives, offering insights, and shaping the future together. This year, the Animal Agriculture Alliance welcome’s all value chain partners to join us at the 2025 Stakeholders Summit to exchange ideas and consider new solutions!
1. Dish on sustainability
The 2025 Stakeholders Summit will bring together hundreds of supply chain partners to dish on the biggest topic in the agriculture industry – sustainability. Take a seat at the table as we discuss new ideas, perspectives, connections, and conversations to strengthen the future of agriculture.
2. Network with professionals across the supply chain
The annual Stakeholders Summit is attended by a diverse audience, including representatives from farms, ranches, food processors, restaurants, grocery stores, legislatures, universities, government agencies, media, and more! Don’t miss the opportunity to network with everyone – from farm to table. Last year’s Summit brought together nearly 320 attendees.
3. Build trust in your community
Today more than ever, building relationships and enhancing communication between farmers and consumers is essential. “Prepare your plate” in our opening Summit session as we discuss strategies for building trust and communication, avoiding pitfalls, and using value-based decision-making to shape a positive future for agriculture.
4. Share a table to reach shared goals
Hundreds of participants from all over the agriculture community are coming together with the shared goal of addressing challenges facing agriculture today for a more prosperous tomorrow. Sharing a table allows everyone to work together towards our shared goal. Collective problem solving will allow for collective actions moving forward, ensuring sustainable solutions that benefit farmers, communities, and the environment for generations to come.
