Just Food, in partnership the New School and the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group’s 15th Annual Resource Harvest, is holding its 2007 meeting on Farms and Food. Featured keynote speaker is one of the filmmakers of the documentary King Corn, Aaron Woolf. This daylong conference of workshops and roundtables brings together farmers, consumers, nutritionists, community gardeners, and educators from across the region to share information, increase awareness of food and agricultural policies, and look for solutions to problems pertaining to the regional food system. The summit focuses on some of today’s most pressing issues, including urban agriculture, farmland preservation, and innovative models for strengthening the link between farmers and consumers, as well as providing channels for getting involved through ongoing working groups.
