Three experienced no-till farmers recently traveled to New York City to educate top investment fund managers on the advantages of adopting no-till farming practices, which can help reduce costs and improve sustainability in the face of ongoing high food prices.

Why it matters

High food prices have been a persistent challenge for consumers, with inflation and supply chain disruptions driving up the cost of groceries. By showcasing the economic and environmental benefits of no-till farming, these growers are aiming to encourage wider adoption of sustainable agriculture techniques that could help stabilize food prices in the long run.

The details

The daylong program in New York City allowed the three veteran no-till farmers to directly engage with influential investment fund managers and make a compelling case for no-till practices. No-till farming, which avoids plowing or tilling the soil, can reduce input costs, improve soil health, and sequester more carbon, potentially helping to address the root causes of high food prices.

  • The educational program for NYC investment managers took place in mid-June 2026.
