Minnesota is experiencing an explosion of interest in local food systems—from new farmers markets, to grocery store aisles to our school lunch programs. Many countries around the world have been using a variety of strategies and policies to support their own local food systems for decades, even centuries. What can we learn from their experience?
Join us for a public forum to hear from IATP President Jim Harkness and IATP’s international board members about how local food systems are supported in Japan, China, Mexico and Canada. IATP’s board of directors are from all corners of the earth, and are exceptional leaders in the movements for fair trade, sustainable agriculture, local food and human rights.
