Join NAMA for a panel on “Growing a Strong Local and Regional Food System”

The SBN Local Food Committee was formed a little over a year ago, and in this short time has accomplished much. SBN has received $44,000 in grants from the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture Resources. There have been five sold out ALLocal Dinners with over 350 people and the committee is well along it’s way to planning the first Boston Local Food Festival on October 2, 2010. This workshop will share the exciting growth of the network of business leaders committed to growing a local food system and it will be an opportunity to brainstorm new ways of growing our local food system.

Moderator: Fan Watkinson, Local Food Committee Director

Panelists:

Elizabeth Kennedy, Chefs Collaborative
JD Kemp, Organic Renaissance
Niaz Dorry, NAMA
