NYS Farmers' Direct Marketing Conference - Jan 18-20, 2007
The 2007 NYS Farmers' Direct Marketing Conference, "The Food Less Traveled: How Local Food Contributes to Healthy People and Healthy Communities", will be held at the Owego Treadway Inn in Owego, NY on January 18-20, 2007. The conference will focus on the links between local agriculture and the health and well being of citizens and communities. A strong farm base, providing good food directly to consumers builds local economies, protects the environment and builds community pride and vibrant public spaces through farmers markets, on-farm markets and agri-tourism farms. It is widely believed that fresh food is a key ingredient in maintaining health and quality of life.
This conference will bring together the agricultural industry with the health, diet and nutrition community to learn how these professions can learn from one another, support each other and benefit our communities through collaborative efforts.
