People sharing healthy food

Explore healthy, sustainable food systems with partners from The Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming.

Take a look inside the workings of The Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming with its president Kathleen Finlay.

Beyond Delicious is a 3-day gathering for chefs, farmers, cooks, entrepreneurs, activists, policymakers, and anyone who cares about creating a more just and sustainable food system. Our time together, with presentations from today’s most celebrated chefs, food changemakers, farmers and policy shapers, focuses on real challenges and tangible solutions for creating a food system that is sustainable, healthy, and accessible for all.

Omega is excited to partner with The Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming for our second food conference. Through keynote talks, panels, workshops, networking, and breaking bread together, we cover topics such as climate-resilient farming, funding opportunities, and the impact the new administration will have on agriculture.

Join this community exploration of what’s delicious about food, but more importantly, why moving beyond delicious into the health and well-being of people and planet is our next food frontier.

Teachers are subject to change.
