The International Conference on Agriculture and Horticulture (ICAH) on January 25, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina, unites global researchers, farmers, industry experts, and students to advance innovations in sustainable agriculture, regenerative practices, and horticultural systems. Tailored for permaculture practitioners, agroecologists, and organic advocates, this event features keynote sessions, paper presentations, workshops, and panel discussions on emerging trends like climate-smart farming, soil regeneration, biodiversity conservation, and resilient crop systems. Attendees will learn practical applications from peers worldwide, including agroforestry techniques, water-efficient designs akin to permaculture zones, organic pest management, and policy frameworks for scaling regenerative models. With 4.6k interested participants, it's a hub for networking, collaboration, and exposure to cutting-edge research on food security, urban horticulture, and ecosystem services. Valuable for North American practitioners, ICAH provides insights into international best practices adaptable to local contexts, such as Southern U.S. polycultures or high tunnel integrations. Expect topics on genetic diversity for resilience, integrated animal-plant systems, and economic viability of sustainable farms, directly supporting permaculture goals. The academic environment in Charlotte fosters career growth through idea exchange, potential publications, and partnerships, making it essential for those bridging theory and practice in environmental sustainability.
