March 18 & 19, 2010 Crestwood Christian Church, 1882 Bellefonte Dr. Lexington KY We recognize that in Kentucky, agriculture is a critically important industry and our farmers need much greater support; that hunger is a serious problem facing many families; that access to affordable, fresh and nutritious food is a serious problem, especially affecting children; that agricultural and ecological literacy for our youth is essential to create a sustainable future; that faith congregations have significant roles to play in aligning lifestyles and consumer choices with religious values, that there are significant environmental, health and economic benefits to the State and its residents from expanding agricultural production; and that our current agricultural production practices impact and will be affected by climate change. At no time in recent history are these matters more prevalent in society than the present. More information can be found on http://bgschoolgardennetwork.ning.com ( categories: )
