Check out this AgriNews Online article about Illinois local and organic food advocate Jim Slama's recent appearance at the Perspectives on the Future of Agriculture in the Midwest conference in Chicago. To an audience of ag bankers, officials, and consultants, he promoted investment in development of infrastructure for the local food economy. Jim's argument for developing a local food infrastructure is handled very seriously in the article, even as AgriNews is an outlet for news about conventional agriculture.
(Jim Slama is a member of the Illinois Food, Farms, and Jobs Council and founder of FamilyFarmed.org.)
