David R. Montgomery and Anne Biklé
Some of the biggest problems in agriculture are rooted less in what we do, than in what we think. In this provocative, interactive session, Montgomery and Biklé will share several mini-case studies, drawn from their Dirt Trilogy. They’ll look at the legacy of conventional wisdom that hampered the adoption of new practices that seemed counter-intuitive yet proved powerful agents of change. The first step in changing your practices is changing your mind, and Montgomery and Biklé draw on new science to challenge conventional thinking about mainstream farming practices.
