Washtenaw: Food

Organizers of the Local Food Summit have posted a report on the Jan. 29 event, including some outcomes like the creation of the Washtenaw Local Food website and a calendar of local food-related events. “Although we learned some things that we could have done better in organizing the Summit (bigger space, more time for working groups, etc.), even on our shoestring budget, we felt that the enthusiasm, energy, and involvement in the room made the day a huge success. This movement, this idea that we can have food that is good for people, good for producers, and good for the planet, is only possible through our relationships with each other as a community. As Chris Bedford said in his talk – we succeed or fail together.” [Source]
