IT TAKES A REGION - 2011:

A  CONFERENCE TO BUILD OUR NORTHEAST FOOD SYSTEM

WHEN: November 11-12, 2011, with pre-conference trainings on November 10

WHERE: Desmond Hotel and Conference Center, Albany, New York

This year, NESAWG and partners will draw on the success of our 2009 &  
2010 "It Takes a Region" conferences.  Once again, we'll look at  
exciting efforts underway in our region. We'll hear and build from the  
work groups--including distribution logistics, research, messaging,  
access & nutrition, and policy advocacy (how do we influence the 2012  
Farm Bill?). We will welcome new participants--especially emerging  
food system leaders and community activists.  We'll be addressing  
pressing issues such as food system worker equity and growing biomass  
versus food.  We’ll continue to explore scale, size, geography and  
cross-sector partnerships.  Watch for new features and networking  
opportunities.

Be a conference sponsor: sponsor funds go toward scholarships so  
everyone can participate. Contact Kathy for more information.
