US (CA): Seedstock Sustainable Agriculture Conference to examine future of local food systems
Slated for Tuesday and Wednesday, November 11 – 12, 2014, the conference will explore how city and county policy can encourage investment in, and support of, local and urban agriculture. Also presented will be the business models and technological solutions – from irrigation to supply chain innovations – necessary to augment the growth of local food systems.
“Local food systems can generate new jobs, increase revenues to cities, provide food access for those living in food deserts and meet the demand of citizens seeking healthy food options. It is imperative that cities, counties and their stakeholders – from government officials to concerned citizens – investigate solutions to increase the amount of local, sustainable food in their communities,” said Seedstock co-founder Robert Puro. “Reintegrating sustainable agriculture into cities and counties is a logical step in this process.”
