The 2026 Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Conference brought together more than 200 farmers, ranchers, educators, advocates, and partners for three days of learning, connection, and celebration.
 
With over 40 speakers and 35 unique sessions covering specialty crops, soil health, water resources, livestock, organic transitioning, food as medicine, health, and urban agriculture, the event offered something meaningful for every corner of Nebraska’s food and farming community.
​
Divots Conference Center proved to be a fabulous host venue, providing warm hospitality and exceptional meals featuring locally grown and produced ingredients that highlighted the best of Nebraska agriculture. Participants enjoyed not only rich educational content but also the chance to gather, share stories, and build relationships.
​
One of the most memorable moments of the conference was the evening social, where NSAS founders and long-time members shared stories from the early days of the organization. Their reflections on the past, the challenges they faced, and the vision that guided them offered a powerful reminder of the roots and resilience of the sustainable agriculture movement in Nebraska.
​
Together, these elements made the 2026 conference both a celebration of where we’ve been and an inspiring look at where we’re headed.
