Nan,
Perhaps you could add the land
use part too, when you go to your meeting. People overwhelmingly want open
space and green space where they live. By supporting your local growers,
you indirectly support the retention of such spaces - making it more possible
for people to make a living off the land.
In addition, in these days of
global warming, by eating locally, the fuel for transportation, refrigeration,
etc. is saved.
Supporting small growers is also
an issue of national security - to have local food grown nearby is safer than to
need it shipped in from across the country - expecially in light of the coming
power and fuel shortages.
Supporting small growers is also
a vote for local control of food, and a vote against agribusiness with its
chemical, GE, land destructive farming.
