local foods conference and policy panelThis is from I-CAN.

----------

Here is information about the Iowa Network for Community Agriculture¹s (INCA) Local Food Conference.  Rich Dana of the Iowa Farmers Union will facilitate a public policy panel on Saturday.   

The two day conference is a multi-faceted look at the food system and speakers will examine the effects of fresh, Iowa food from farms to Iowa tables.  We¹ll be looking at growing, cooking, selling, buying, and processing food.  There are lots of emerging opportunities in this area.  Please forward this to anyone who might be interested in participating in this conference. 

The Iowa Network for Community Agriculture (INCA) will hold its 11th Annual Local Food Conference in Urbandale on February 3rd and 4th.  The annual conference is a celebration and exploration of all things possible around the potential of Iowans growing food for their fellow Iowans.  The conference takes a food systems approach and covers everything from the farm to the table.  Both days of the conference will be at Walnut Hills United Methodist Church in Urbandale.
