The conference's goal was to prepare Western region agriculture for sustainably processing, marketing and distributing high quality food in systems that:

- Increase economic viability of food producers of all sizes;
- Expand the marketplace for sustainably produced food;
- Increase community food security;
- Assure abundance in the face of increasing fossil fuel costs.
The Western SARE Administrative Council organized this conference in response to the participants in our Subregional Conferences listing gaps and barriers in agriculture infrastructure as a high need to be addressed in our region for continued economic viability in the 21st Century.
