About the Round Table

The Farm Foundation® Round Table is an invitation-only discussion forum comprised of leaders from across the food and agriculture value chain and across North America. A program of Farm Foundation, the Round Table meets twice yearly to foster discussion and interaction among thought leaders and invited government, academic, agribusiness and other interest group leaders. Attendance at Round Table events is limited to Fellows and invited guests. 

Round Table programming is designed to explore ideas, analyses, and insights that participants may use in their own work. The exchange of ideas fosters understanding of different approaches to issues and challenges facing agriculture, the food system, and rural regions. Topics for Round Table meetings are determined by the Program Committee of the Board of Directors. Round Table programming often builds on other Farm Foundation projects. Round Table discussions also generate new ideas for Farm Foundation project work. 

With its roots in the earliest meetings of the Foundation for American Agriculture, founded by Charles Dana Bennett in 1945, the Round Table has brought influential thought leaders together on a regular basis for years. Round Table Fellows have left an indelible mark on agriculture in countless ways—and we can't wait to see what's next!
