Dr. Allen Williams: 2019 Sustainable Agriculture Conference Keynote Speaker

Nov. 1, 2019 - Durham, NC | 34th Sustainable Agriculture Conference | CFSA
Dr. Allen Williams - "Adaptive Stewardship: Your Key to Regeneration & Profitability"

On Nov. 1, 2019 at the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association's 34th annual Sustainable Agriculture Conference in Durham, North Carolina, Dr. Allen Williams gave the keynote address, "Adaptive Stewardship: Your Key to Regeneration & Profitability."

Dr. Allen Williams is a sixth-generation family farmer and expert on regenerative agriculture and grazing, soil health, adaptive foraging, pasture-based meat production, the grass-fed market, and alternative marketing systems, among other subjects. He personally pioneered many of the first grass-fed protocols and forage finishing techniques. For these reasons and more, we were thrilled to bring Dr. Williams as the keynote speaker of our 2019 Sustainable Agriculture Conference.

Though he currently lives in Mississippi, where he owns a grass-fed beef operation, Dr. Williams has deep roots in the Carolinas. His ancestors first started their family farm in South Carolina in the year 1842. He began his education at Clemson, where he earned his BS and MS in Animal Science. He later went on to earn his Ph.D. in Livestock Genetics from LSU. He is also a longtime partner and Chief Ranching Officer of Joyce Farms in Winston-Salem. A respected researcher, (self-described) “recovering” academic, and writer, Dr. Williams has published over 400 articles and the book Before You Have a Cow.
