Just Food Co-op Community Room, 516 Water St S Learn about efforts to promote the growth of a sustainable local food system in Rice County through policy changes on a local level. Over the past few months, Carleton MPIRG students and community members have been working to persuade the County Board of Commissioners to adopt policies that would establish a local foods purchasing preference for county institutions and create incentives for farmers to switch from conventional to organic production. They will talk about the progress they have made so far, and how you can get involved!
