About this event

  • 7 hours

Water is one of the most important components for sustaining our farms, our communities, and our economy.

This year's Round-Up is all about water: Managing when there is too little or too much, maintaining its quality, and successfully securing and protecting water supplies for the short and long term.

RDAR's 2024 Round-Up is a one-day special event for everyone interested in how Alberta manages its water resources, especially how water affects the agricultural sector.

Participants will hear from peers – producers, researchers, policy-makers and processors - about how to manage production and processing practices in varying conditions. Researchers will hear producers' challenges while sharing their expertise. Industry leaders will share their insights on broader water issues and how policy and investments may affect business practices.

Why attend Round-Up 2024?

Round-Up is about bringing people together. This year, we are opening the floodgates and releasing a torrent of information to everyone interested in sustaining Alberta's economy, especially in terms of agriculture, the environment, technological innovations, and adoption.

You won't want to miss this event!
