Summary
Growing Power is proud to announce its request for proposals for workshop presentations. We look forward to hosting another stellar conference with workshops that will focus on the 2012 conference theme –Growing the Good Food Revolution! This conference will showcase the best practices and principles in sustainable agriculture that have been developed to date and the innovations underway that will grow a healthier tomorrow.
We want conference attendees to learn how they can grow food year-round, no matter what the climate, and how they can build markets for small farms. We hope that this conference will galvanize our collective efforts to create a new food system that fosters better health and more closely-knit communities.
The Growing Food and Justice for All Initiative (GFJI) will also be holding its Fifth Annual Gathering, Winds of Change: The Power of Unity and Action!, concurrently with the conference and leading the GFJI Track and Cultural Activities throughout the conference.
We are seeking innovative multi-disciplinary workshop proposals from folks who are actively operating urban and small farms and those who are working in areas that support this emerging area of agriculture and local economic development. Conference workshops are intended to enhance the skills and broaden the perspective of the participants.
