Speaker Bio:

Lindsay Napolitano & Johann Rinkens are the co-founders of Fields Without Fences, a 45-acre agroforestry operation and agroecology consulting service. On our farm, located within the Delaware River watershed, we integrate approaches found in environmental restoration, permaculture design, and regenerative agriculture to create low input, self-renewing, agroecological systems that naturally restore health and integrity to our shared landscape. Beyond our fields, we bring these practices to our consulting and design work with farmers, landowners, and organizations.
