SUMMARY:World of Coffee - San Diego April 10-12
DESCRIPTION:https://usa.worldofcoffee.org/\nPanel: Does Regenerative Agriculture Represent the Future\, or Is It Just a Fad?\n\nFriday\, April 10\, 2026\n1:30 PM  2:45 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLecture Description \nCoffee faces one of its greatest challenges in the management of fungal pathogens — particularly Hemileia vastatrix\, the causal agent of coffee leaf rust. In recent years\, nanotechnology has emerged as a promising frontier for sustainable crop protection. This session will explore how engineered nanomaterials — specifically silica-based nanoparticles functionalized with chitosan oligomers and copper ions — can activate defense pathways in coffee plants\, enhance horizontal resistance\, and potentially reduce the need for conventional agrochemicals. \nDrawing from ongoing research and greenhouse trials with Coffea arabica varieties\, we will discuss mechanisms of action\, results from plant defense gene expression studies\, and leaf disc infection assays evaluating disease progression. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the opportunities and limitations of applying nanotechnology in coffee agriculture\, including scalability\, safety\, regulatory considerations\, and practical adoption for smallholder farmers. \nThis presentation aims to bridge cutting-edge plant science and field application. It is designed for coffee producers\, agronomists\, sustainability leaders\, and anyone interested in innovative\, environmentally conscious solutions for the future of coffee farming. \nDate: Friday\, April 10\, 2026\nTime: 1:30 pm – 2:45 pm\nLocation: Room 24AB\nCategory: Sustainability \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\nPresenter: \nAl Liu\nDirector of Let’s Talk Coffee\, Sustainable Harvest \nModerator: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJorge Cuevas\nChief Coffee Officer\, Sustainable Harvest \nJorge is the Chief Coffee Officer at Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers.

SUMMARY:Regenerative Strategies for Avocadoes\, Citrus\, and Strawberries
DESCRIPTION:Regenerative Strategies for Avocadoes\, Citrus\, and Strawberries – May4th will focus on citrus and May 11th on avocados https://www.eco-farm.org/regenerative-avocados-citrus-and-strawberries-conference \nThis two-day gathering\, presented in partnership with EcoFarm\, brings farmers\, scientists\, and community partners together to explore agriculture as a living ecology — where certified organic practice\, regenerative outcomes\, Indigenous stewardship\, and the careful tending of water meet in relationship. Together\, we will address the questions that sit at the edge of the future: how to remain viable\, how to steward water wisely\, how to support labor\, and how to sustain farms across generations. In looking forward\, we also look back — recognizing that many of the resilience practices needed today are rooted in the wisdom of those who have long worked in balance with the land. \nCertified organic provides a trusted\, regulated foundation for responsible production. Regenerative agriculture builds upon that foundation by focusing on outcomes: healthier soils\, improved water retention\, stronger ecosystems\, and greater adaptability in times of uncertainty. True sustainability must also include the human dimensions of agriculture — fair labor\, steady cash flow\, and the ability to endure through long economic and environmental cycles. The resilience practices of the past\, from Indigenous land stewardship to multigenerational farming knowledge\, offer guidance for navigating what lies ahead. \nThrough field days\, panels\, and dialogue grounded in practice\, participants will explore how water\, soil\, labor\, markets\, and certification systems function together within a dynamic ecology. The aim is to create space for honest questions about the future while learning from the adaptive strategies that have carried farming communities through change before. \nMay 4th will focus on Avocados and Citrus and May 11th will focus on Strawberries. Registration is $75 for one day or $140 for both days\,\nwith lunch included each day.
