Guest Blog - Planning Fellow Chris Sayer |
One of the 2007 ROC Planning Fellows, Chris is an avocado and citrus grower from Santa Paula. He also spent
some time as a P3 Orion Pilot for the US Navy. He has been active with the Ventura AFA and the UC Hansen Trust on issues facing agriculture and the community in Ventura County. In his blog entry, Chris offers some reflections on his experience as a ROC Planning Fellow.

Having recently had the privilege of participating in the Roots of Change Planning Fellows program, it seems appropriate to reflect on the experience. With the advantage of a word processor, perhaps I can achieve greater clarity than I feel I have when speaking off the cuff with members of my community.

Opening Remarks of Michael Dimock, Session 1 Planning Fellows Retreat |
Opening Remarks of Michael Dimock
Session 1, Planning Fellows Retreat
May 15, 2007
It has been a long journey, four years actually since Roots of Change
was born, and this day marks the beginning of a new phase. We all know
the hardest challenges, the highest most rewarding climbs, take a long
time. I want to share my own and ROC's perspectives on this effort,
this experiment really, to actually knit a network of diverse leaders
with a network of diverse funders who share a passion and vision for
reforming a food system that has run its course based on principles and
practices framed and formed in an earlier era.

BERKELEY -- For every kid who eats lunch in a school cafeteria, there's a parent somewhere wishing the cafeteria would serve more fresh fruits and vegetables. But not many parents know about one of the most important pieces of legislation in Congress that influences what types of food farmers will grow and our families will eat. It's called the farm bill.
