SFLR Network 2026 Landowners Conference has ended
Wednesday May 13, 2026 6:00pm - 8:30pm CDT
Join Stephen Satterfield and Bethaney Wilkinson for an intimate and thought-provoking fireside chat exploring what it means to truly own and shape the systems that impact our communities, land, and livelihoods.

Owning the Ecosystem invites participants to consider how we move beyond participation to leadership—building, influencing, and sustaining the networks and resources that define our collective future. Drawing from their experiences across food systems, culture, and leadership, Satterfield and Wilkinson will reflect on themes of ownership, access, equity, and long-term sustainability.

Through candid conversation, this session will challenge you to think differently about power, stewardship, and generational impact—while offering insight into how values-driven leadership can help create more resilient and self-determined communities.
