Thanks for a Great Conference!
The 8th Annual Quivira Coalition Conference was held November 4, 5 & 6th in Albuquerque, NM..
The Quivira Coalition would like to express it's gratitude to everyone that attended the conference, all the speakers, moderators, all the volunteers and our special guests. Attendance was better than ever and exceeded our expectations.
Speaker power point presentations will be posted as PDF files soon for you to explore. Good News! We had said we will have audio CD's of speaker presentations for sale in our On-Line Store. Since then, we found out that we can actually put these on our site as an MP3 file and you can listen online or download them yourself at no charge. We will keep you posted.
We hope you had a rewarding and educational experience and look forward to seeing you in 2010 - November 10-12.
"The spirit of Quivira seems to me one of its greatest assets. The Conference becomes a celebration of all that it means to be a rancher or worker on the land of any kind, living joyfully within our means." Linda Hasselstrom, 8th Annual Conference Speaker

The Quivira Coalition's 9th Annual Conference
November 10-12th, 2010, in Albuquerque, New Mexico
"The Carbon Ranch: Fighting Climate Change through Food and Stewardship"
Climate change is the most pressing issue confronting humanity. It is also a tremendous opportunity. Right now, the only possibility of large-scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is through plant photosynthesis and other land-based carbon sequestration activities. Strategies include: enriching soil carbon, farming with perennials, employing climate-friendly livestock practices, conserving natural habitat, restoring degraded watersheds and rangelands, and producing local food. Over the past decade, many of these strategies have been demonstrated to be both practical and profitable. A carbon ranch bundles them into an economic whole with the aim of creating climate-friendly landscapes that are both healthy ecologically and the source of healthy food. In this conference we will explore this exciting new frontier and learn from `carbon pioneers' from around the world.
