Winter 2027 Round Table

Meeting Theme: Innovation, Consolidation, and the Future of Agribusiness

The Farm Foundation Round Table brings together leaders from across food and agriculture to exchange ideas, explore complex issues, and build greater understanding across the sector.

This invitation-only forum includes leaders from across the food and agriculture value chain, along with voices from government, academia, business, and other organizations. Round Table Fellows meet twice each year with invited guests for candid, thoughtful discussions about the issues and opportunities shaping agriculture, the food system, and rural communities.

Round Table programming is designed to introduce new perspectives, challenge assumptions, and give participants insights they can carry into their own work. The ideas exchanged also help inform Farm Foundation’s broader programming and can spark new areas of exploration and action.

The Round Table has deep roots in Farm Foundation’s history, dating to the earliest meetings of the Foundation for American Agriculture, founded by Charles Dana Bennett in 1945. For more than 80 years, generations of leaders have come together through the Round Table to learn from one another, strengthen relationships, and help shape the future of food and agriculture.

Participation in the Farm Foundation Round Table is by invitation. Round Table meetings are open to Fellows and invited guests.
