"From Commodity to Community"
Posted by Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin on October 2, 2009
This is the title of the Community Food Security Coalition’s conference in Des Moines, IA from October 10th to the 13th. According to the update from the Sustainable Farming Association of MN, this is “the largest gathering of community food systems producers and advocates in the US.”. I am honored to be a presenter for the morning plenary session on Tuesday October 13th.
If you are going, look me up and I look forward to having a good and engaging conversation about the state of our food systems and the important work going on in our Southern MN region to restore some of the most valuable infrastructure and ethical links in the food system that we lost to corporate farming and conglomerates.

Way to go, Regi!
Hopefully Vilsack’s evasions and digressions opened people’s ears up to the REAL STUFF that is going on where it counts…at the grassroots!
Thanks for what you do.
It would be great to see you at the GFJI Gathering again at the end of the month. Hope you can make it!
Best, Diane
