The Faith, Food & Farms Conference emphasizes participation and problem-solving

Workshop topics include: CSA (community supported agriculture), food policy advocacy,
produce stands and mobile farmers' markets, food waste reduction, and faithlands.
Who should attend? Leaders engaged or interested in food projects with their faith community
and farmers seeking to develop relationships with faith-based groups.
