2026 Annual Meeting Recap Report

On June 1-3, Field to Market members, partners, and stakeholders gathered in Raleigh, North Carolina for our 2026 Annual Meeting, held alongside a celebration of the organization’s 20th anniversary. Over three days, the program brought together leaders from across the agricultural value chain for conversation, collaboration, and reflection on two decades of progress and the work still ahead to build a more resilient food and agriculture system.

This recap report is intended both for those who joined us in Raleigh and for those who could not attend, offering a look at the themes, discussions, and announcements that shaped the meeting. In keeping with our practice of fostering open and candid dialogue, sessions were conducted under the Chatham House Rule, and this summary reflects the substance of those conversations without attributing specific comments to individuals or organizations.
