6TH ANNUAL FUTURE OF OUR FOOD AND FARMS SUMMIT
December 2 thru 3, 2004
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Competing uses for its vast resources have important implications for our future food system. As federal programs and policies are increasingly shifted to states, local governments and the nonprofit sector to implement — it is important that farmers, consumers, industry, government and nonprofits collaborate. The Summit is creating a place where these interests can come together to share ideas about problems and solutions affecting the farm and food system in the region. Our intent is to develop and promote recommendations that will guide the formation of farming and food policy in the Mid-Atlantic region, and set the stage to influence future federal, state and local government policies. Featured speakers include Eric Bost, USDA Undersecretary Food, Nutrition & Consumer Services, and Michael Jacobson, Executive Director, Center for Science in the Public Interest.
