This year's gathering will be hosted at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix on November 6, 2024 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. We encourage AZFSN members, partners, and others working to create a more vibrant local food system to come connect, learn, and co-create the 2025 - 2030 Arizona Statewide Food Action Plan.
