Keep Farming: Presentation by Virginia Kasinki

Join us for an evening discussion about how farmers, food and agricultural stakeholders, representatives of municipalities, agricultural commissions, and interested citizens can work together to address this key question:

What role do we want farming to play in the future of our community, and how can we make it happen?

About the Keep Farming Program

A program of the Glynwood Center, Keep Farming is founded on the principle that the best solutions to a community’s problems come from within the community itself. This community-driven and data focused process is geared to the development of well researched, practical strategies. Economic information gathered through original survey work provides a more comprehensive picture of how the food we eat is produced, processed, distributed and consumed. It also enables a clearer picture of the true economic impacts of farming and local food in the community than is possible with traditional data sources
