Mid-Valley Voice

Feeding Our Community - Promoting Self-Sufficiency

Learn about federal and state regulations on agriculture, present status of mid-valley agriculture, and its potential for feeding our population.

Find out what sustainable agriculture means for our soil, our local food supply, our health and the downside of inexpensive industrial agricultural products.

Hear about the need for urban agriculture, some of the many local projects currently in operation or in the planning process, and some ideas about how local government can help.

There will be time for questions, discussion on how local governments can help increase local food production and security, and displays by organizations promoting local food self-reliance.
