Planning Begins for March 2010 Food Summit One component of an HLN grant proposal recently funded by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is a Food Summit that will primarily promote the rewards of buying and eating fresh, locally-grown foods. Ideas for presentations and workshops under discussion include Plants that Heal, a facilitated dicussion between local growers and buyers aimed at closing local delivery system gaps, and the use of prescriptions for food and activity to treat malnutrition. Please email questions, comments and/or suggestions about this or other HLN projects to Jackie Armstrong jsa0871@sbcglobal.net. |
