FTC Teleconference with Joel Salatin
An Invitation from the
Farm-to-Consumer Foundation
Please join us with the Farm-to-Consumer Foundation in our first educational
seminar, featuring sustainable farming guru and visionary Joel Salatin.
Mr. Salatin
will discuss the importance of creating local food networks - how farmers
can
organize with other farmers, and how the consumer can play a role to advance
local sustainable farming.
We visualize farmers and consumers stepping up to the plate equally
to ensure a
world where small, sustainable farms can thrive and where, as consumers,
we continue to have excellent food choices. Indeed, at this critical
juncture in the history of farming and food, we must all make it a priority
to do everything we can to support our alternative food sources. The
Foundation is organizing educational seminars as a vehicle for learning
what we can all do to help.
Sincerely,
Taaron Meikle
President
