Local Food Policy Council

Folks from the agriculture community met at the Department of Agriculture today to discuss SB1067 which deals with the promotion of local food through a Local Food Policy Council. I was present at this meeting today and played "catch up" on this bill as I was not at the meeting that was held last week. Representatives from the organic agriculture industry as well as those from the traditional agriculture industry were at the table. I trust that as a result of these meetings, we will all come to a consensus on the contents of the bill.
