2 Days. 25 Sessions. 15+ Speakers.
We are thrilled to return for the 3rd edition of the Northern Roots Forum. Last year’s event showcased both the science and practice of regeneration at scale. It sparked meaningful dialogue and inspired actionable solutions, bringing together visionaries and practitioners committed to regenerating the environment and climate while cultivating nutrient-dense foods and thriving farming businesses.
This year, we continue our mission to support the emergence of a new generation of agriculture in the Baltic and Nordic regions. The forum will once again serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, fostering constructive discussions in smaller groups and on a national scale. Join us as we build on the momentum and work together to shape the future of agriculture.
Learn from pioneers with decades of experience in agroecological and profitable farming. Gain insights, ask questions and go into conversation to take home key knowledge and inspiration.

We’re happy to announce that Soil Talks Season II begins right here in Tallinn, at the Northern Roots Forum — and we warmly invite you to join this special dinner event.
For those who work with land, it’s no secret: healthy soil is the starting point of everything. It shapes yield stability, nutrient availability, resilience to stress, and the overall performance of our fields. But soil also reaches far beyond farming — it influences the flavour and quality of food, human health, cultural traditions, and the long-term wellbeing of our landscapes.
Soil Talks brings these connections to the table, opening a wider conversation about why soil matters to all of us — growers, chefs, scientists, and communities alike.
We will have a professional guide taking you to a 1.5h-2h Old Town tour. The timing of the tour will be communicated soon. The guide waits for you in front of the Tallink Spa & Conference hotel. Participation is free for the forum guests. Pre registration is mandatory and you can sign up for the tour here.
Northern Roots is all about creating connections and exchanging thoughts and ideas. On the evening of the 21st there is the opportunity for all participants to stay at the venue, Kultuurikatel, until 7 pm to eat, drink and mingle.
Join us to meet fellow farmers, reconnect with friends, engage with agriculture stakeholders, and, above all, enjoy some lighthearted fun!
Join us for two days of lectures, workshops and engaging conversations. Ask the questions on your mind, discuss your experiences with other farmers and get inspired to regenerate your land, farming business and your mind.
