The First ISKCON Farming Conference in Russia
We are living in a time when the question of cow and soil protection is of an utmost importance. In March 2019 ISKCON authorities passed on a resolution which obliges each ISCKON center to draw up a plan by 2020 of how to supply Deities with milk products exclusively from the protected cows. At the First ISKCON Farming Conference in Russia we will be discussing how to bring this into life. Also the topics of how to create and maintain ISKCON farms and communities will be brought up. By the example of the Planet of the Cows eco-farm we will go into details on how to produce milk products, how to be profitable, we will bring about an issue of the relationships amongst the devotees and other questions.

By purchasing milk products in a supermarket we indirectly support cow slaughter. ISKCON leaders have been paying special attention to this issue during the last few years. Serial Prabhupad really wanted the devotees to live on the land in communities, wanted them to take care of cows and take up agriculture. It's high time to start taking steps in this direction.
