Panelists include Tony and Barclay Daranyi, who practice regenerative agriculture at their farm 33 miles northwest of Telluride; Chris Hazen, from the San Miguel County Payment for Ecosystem Services Program and Cindy Lair, deputy director of the Colorado STAR (Saving Tomorrow's Agricultural Resources) program.
