The Long Island Food Coalition (formerly known as the Small Farm Initiative) is planning another informative and interactive food conference on Saturday, April 25, 2015 at Hofstra University.
The 2015 Conference will bring together hundreds of key stakeholders and members of our communities to learn, discuss and network about the importance of growing and promoting a sustainable local food system. This Conference will focus on strengthening and increasing our local food system by (1) identifying innovative small scale growing techniques, (2) providing inspiring and educational workshops dedicated to promoting healthy and sustainable food choices and (3) discussing ground-breaking policies and programs to help incorporate sustainable and locally grown food into our communities.
