RLCF is a proud supporter of the Back to Your Roots Conference, in partnership with Campti Field of Dreams and Bossier Parish Community College.

Back To Your Roots, 2020 was pleased to bring you nationally renown Masters in their fields along with other academics, farmers, ranchers, and value-added producers to share their knowledge as we work together to rebuild our local food system.


The goals of the conference were to:

  • Advance sustainable agriculture as a tool for community revitalization in parishes facing persistent poverty by rebuilding the local food system and supporting other creative placemaking initiatives.

  • Educate the public on the environmental benefits of organic production and the mutually beneficial programs provided by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.

  • Inspire a new generation of farmers.Last, but definitely not least, dispel the myth that you can't make money farming!

THE FACTS:Persistent Poverty Is Stifling Our Rural Communities

THE ANSWER: Empower A New Generation Of Farmers With Models That Are Financially Lucrative, Replicable And Scalable To Infuse Innovation And Sustainable Entrepreneurship Into Our Rural Economies
