Most of us hate conflict and try to steer clear as much as possible. But, operating a market serving the public means you have to be prepared for what will arise, and something always will. Together, we will discuss conflict management and de-escalation in a farmer’s market setting so we all can be better prepared for when it happens … that is, if we can’t keep it from happening in the first place.
We’ll cover risk assessment/management, conflict mitigation, conflict management solutions, and situational awareness to maintain alertness and preparedness to deal with escalating conflict.
Please note this is an educational discussion and not a legal clinic. The panelists are not providing legal or other forms of specific advice for you to take action within individual situations.
