Farm and Food Leadership Conference 2008

Be part of an exciting gathering of non-profit leaders, farmers and ranchers, farmers market organizers, local foods activists, and more! The first day will feature top speakers on issues critical to independent agriculture, including:

* the National Animal Identification System
* genetically modified foods
* farm-to-school programs
* water rights and management
* the Farm Bill
* local food systems and farmers markets

The second day will be the training ground for what each and every person can do about these issues! Come early for a networking breakfast on additional topics, such as raw milk, mineral rights, and government organics programs. Then learn what 501(c)(3) organizations can and cannot do, how to create a network of local contacts, practical information on how each of us can be a citizen lobbyist, and laying the groundwork for taking action in 2009!
