After a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, ISKCON’s 12th European Farm Conference is back and poised to make a significant impact on the future of agriculture. The event is organized by the GBC Ministry of Cow Protection and Agriculture and will be held on a working farm in Zum Oberdorf, Jesewitz, Germany, from September 29th to October 1st, 2023. Devotees are encouraged to register soon at the following link.
ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, has promoted sustainable agriculture and cow protection for decades. One of its most significant initiatives is the European Farm Conference, which has brought devotees, farmers, leaders, experts, and policymakers together to share knowledge and solutions for sustainable farming practices.
The GBC Ministry of Cow Protection and Agriculture has been instrumental in fostering the growth of ISKCON farm projects through a three-stage approach: registration, certification, and education. The ministry has also initiated the GoFundCows platform, which financially supports goshalas, furthering the cause of cow protection.
The farm hosting the 2023 European Farm Conference has a Hare Krishna legacy spanning four generations and has cultivated an impressive 300 hectares of land. However, what sets this farm apart is its dedication to regenerative farming practices, a key focus of this year’s conference.
