REGISTER TODAY: 2nd Annual Harvesting Opportunities in New York: Growing Local Food Economies and Protecting Farmland hosted by American Farmland Trust of NY on November 20 at Hotel Albany; all-day event includes cider-doughnut breakfast and lunch for $90.
Over the last 25 years, nearly half a million acres of farmland, the equivalent of 4,500 farms, has been lost to housing developments, shopping malls and big box stores. In fact, over 80 percent of the fruits, vegetables and dairy products produced in New York are grown near urban areas and lie directly in the path of sprawling development. Join others across New York in supporting local farms and saving local farmland. Help grow local food economies, and meet others working to support the next generation of farmers. Registration Opens at 8:30 a.m. Download the Conference Brochure and register today.
