Weigh in on the 2007 Farm Bill!!
Please join Salmon-Safe, Ecotrust Food & Farms, Slow Food Portland, and Edible Portland for a free public event.
Every five to seven years, Congress passes an obscure piece of legislation that is known as the Farm Bill. As the economic engine driving the modern food system, the Farm Bill is largely responsible for determining the quantity and variety of crops we grow, and what and how much we eat.
Salmon-Safe, Ecotrust Food & Farms Program, Edible Portland and Slow Food Portland have invited Daniel Imhoff, author of Food Fight: The Citizen's Guide to a Food and Farm Bill, and other experts to provide consumers and activists with the information that we'll need to start the food fight that delivers a more sustainable future.
What: Portland Food Fight
When: Monday, March 5, 5:30-7:30pm
Where: Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center
Jean Vollum Natural Capital Center
721 NW Ninth Avenue Portland, Oregon.
The event features complimentary food from Slow Food Portland as well as wine tasting with Willamette Valley Vineyards, Salmon-Safe certified since 1998. Find out more about the event at www.salmonsafe.org or call at 503.232.3750.
Dan Imhoff is author of Farming with the Wild and co-founder and president of the Wild Farm Alliance.
