Overview
Governor Hochul convened New York’s first-ever collaborative youth agriculture leadership conference this fall, November 13-14 in Albany. The conference encouraged collaboration among youth agriculture organizations and provided young leaders the opportunity to connect with state leaders to better understand how policy shapes the interconnected food, agriculture and natural resource industries.
Students explored the many challenges and possibilities within these industries, connected with other students and professionals regarding their own interests and aspirations, and discovered the vast array of career possibilities that await them in the future and reflect the future workforce needs of New York.
