Why The Food System?
boy_with_corn.jpgThe food system is a root system of all civilizations. This system must become sustainable in order to ensure the long-term environmental, economic, and public health of the state.

We are what we eat,  and the food system connects us as citizens, communities, and as stewards of the earth.  How food is grown, processed, distributed, sold, and eaten affects the very fabric of the state.  It effects our open spaces, the development of our cities, our health, our children’s health, the economy, the health of our landscapes, biodiversity, the climate, air, water, and soil, in short - our connection with, and care for, the natural world.  

The food system- and its many facets- offer us the opportunity to unite in a common cause of making this vision for a sustainable future real.
