A new state law created the North Carolina Sustainable Local Food Advisory Council. One of the issues to be considered by the Council is an in-depth analysis of the potential impacts that the production of sustainable local food would have on economic development in North Carolina, both the direct impacts for the producers of sustainable local food and the actual and potential indirect impacts, such as encouraging restaurants that feature locally raised agricultural products and promoting food and wine tourism.
The Council is made up of 27 members and the Grange was given a position. Phil Hudson from Westbrook Grange was appointed by the Speaker of the House to represent the Grange. Phil is the owner and manager of John Hudson Farms, Inc. in Newton Grove.
