Hello from your colleagues at the University of Guelph!

We are proud to announce the inaugural Arrell Food Summit, May 22-24, and are excited to invite you to attend. https://arrellfoodinstitute.ca/food-summit/

The theme is “innovation,” and the summit offers an extremely diverse series of sessions and speakers to explore how innovative people, practices, and products will help to sustainably, equitably and nutritiously feed the world’s growing population. The two main days of conference content will be in Guelph, while a third day will be hosted in Toronto.

As the Education Coordinator for the Arrell Food Institute, I’m most excited about the opportunities this Summit offers to students in ag & food (LFS undergrad and grad students!)

• We worked hard to ensure there’s a big representation of student voices
• As a result, student registration is deeply discounted: only $75 for each of the two Guelph days! (food incl.)
• Our cohort of grad students has developed an exciting student-specific session, as well as a networking dinner night only for students
• They/we see this summit as a key opportunity for food/ag graduate students across Canada (and beyond) to really build their networks with one another, as future leaders. So we’ve been very intentional about designing the program to maximize those opportunities – and that’s why we were firm on setting a low cost ticket-price for students. 

I hope to get to see some of you here!

Please feel free to pass this along to your friends and colleagues.

Let me know if you have questions at all

Warmly,

Kelly Hodgins
