Attending Slow Food Nation, was a life changing week for me. Because I attended alone, I was able to join with and meet many different people and groups. All the urban garden project directors, CUESA, and people from different ag groups that I had wanted to meet, just happened to be seated next to me, in seminars and in the lounges. All were helpful and we have established an email connection to share information.
Next year, I hope to bring several people with me to harvest more information and build more relationships.
MY MAIN WISH-----to have a panel- with the people listed above---come to different sections of the country with their message. Have this happen during local growing season, so it could be connected with a LOCAL farmers market, alternative energy symposium and a panel of local experts that could discuss local issues with the public and the panel. Advertise this event properly.
I live in South Florida and my area faces unique and dire threats to its greenspaces and small farms. The good part is--the populace is starting to wake up.
At a minimum, I wish that the programs themselves were broadcast in real time so the wave could be given some momentum.
If you know what I mean...
