Sustainable Christian Agriculture Conference
OCTOBER, 1 - 4, 2026 RECAP
The SCAI (Sustainable Christian Agriculture Initiatives) conference began with Agriculture and Worldviews in Switzerland, followed by a 4 day gathering hosted by Hungry World Farm. This was a joyful time of learning, connection, and fellowship. Farmers, pastors, and other guests explored the relationship between people, the land, and God, reflecting on stewardship as more than sustainability: a calling to repair, restoration, and regeneration.
Delightful meals, warm conversations, and a song about being a Sower and planting seeds brought that vision to life. Many seeds were planted - in our hearts, in new friendships, and in ideas to carry home. Thank you to everyone who joined us, including those who traveled from Alabama, Rhode Island, Switzerland, and even Japan. Your presence made this gathering a delight!
