Agriculture and Aquaculture Farm Vitality and Health Forum

The University of Delaware Cooperative Extension and its partners are inviting those with a stake in assuring healthy farm families and prosperous land and sea farms in Delaware to the Linking Agriculture and Aquaculture Farm Vitality and Health Forum, June 3, 2025, 9am-4:00pm at the Delaware Museum of Agriculture. Click here for the registration link.

Results of a recent USDA-funded study highlighted issues that are affecting the health and well- being of the farming population. These issues are also pertinent to farming families and farm employees in Delaware.

The Linking Agriculture and Aquaculture Farm Vitality and Health Forum will bring interested and invested parties together to develop a greater understanding of the issues, increase connections across diverse but interested parties in the public/private sectors, and enable the achievement of significant short- and long-term outcomes that will impact the priority issues affecting the health and vitality of the farming community and businesses.

We hope you will join us for this important initiative to lend your perspective and expertise, as well as to build stronger connections with our partners and colleagues to drive meaningful change for Delaware’s land and sea farming populations.
