>Pennypack Farm Education Center presents:
>An Evening with
>Kathy Lawrence
>
>You Are What You Eat:
>The Link Between Government Policy, Local Farms and Your Dinner
>Tuesday, June 29 7:00 p.m.
Upper Dublin Township Building
>
>Come hear and talk with Kathy Lawrence, the dynamic, passionate and
>knowledgeable Executive Director of the National Campaign for Sustainable
>Agriculture and founder and Board member of Just Food, to find out what the
>issues are, the many great groups working on these issues, the tremendous
>gains they've made through coordinated citizen advocacy, what's at stake
>for
>regional farmers and communities and easy ways to make your voices and
>votes
>count.
>
>Many of us know that federal agriculture policies and funding have a huge
>and often negative impact on our environment, agriculture production
>practices, and the future of sustainable family farming in this country. We
>feel we ought to be pushing for better policies, more responsive and
>accountable government, and better food choices for our health and our
>ecosystems. And if you're a CSA farmer or member, if you direct market your
>farm products, if you are active in your children's school, you're in touch
>with potential citizen activists who can vote not only with their food
>dollars, but also with their phone calls, emails and faxes.
>
>But who has the time, energy and expertise to get involved in the Farm Bill
>and other national policy debates? The organized, coordinated and
>successful
>sustainable agriculture movement does! Over the years we've proven that
>unified, informed and strategically targeted citizen action can change
>federal policies and the shape of our food system. To win the fundamental
>agricultural and social changes needed, we must dramatically increase the
>number of folks engaged in policy education and advocacy.
>

>The Upper Dublin Township Building is located at 801 Loch Alsh Avenue in
>Fort Washington.
