About NFUniversity
With classes on the throughout the winter and spring months, NFUniversity features experts, researchers, farmers, and others on topics ranging from climate change, agroecology, seed policy, carbon markets, and beyond. Farming is complex, interconnected, and deeply political. Learning helps us understand the system.
So that’s why this year, NFUniversity has a new edition! Following selected webinar classes, there will be an organizing session the following week. One week to learn and the next to mobilize. It’s time to turn knowledge into action.
Recordings of previous NFUniversity classes are posted on our Past Classes page.
Classes take place on Zoom, from 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM Pacific time. Each class includes a question-and-answer period after the speaker’s presentation.
