Investing close to home grows the local economy to meet a region’s needs for sustainably produced food and other goods. This contributes to the economic success of farmers, food producers, manufacturers, distributors, restaurants and grocers, and provides access to healthy, affordable food and other goods, and helps insure a sustainable and prosperous future for the region. We will learn more about what options are available in the Valley and Nova Scotia and how we can contribute to the economy, sustainability and the environment.
This event is presented by Friends of Agriculture in Nova Scotia. Introductions by Linda Best.
Speakers: Jen Scott (farmer, GPI, EAC, FANS), Edith Callaghan (Arthur Irving Centre for the Environment, Acadia University, FANS), Chris Payne (CEDIF Administrator, NS Department of Economic Development), Thomas Krausse (Dandelion Community Investment Co-operative), Mike Wark (CEO Valley Credit Union), Patricia Bishop (farmer, Kings County Land Trust), Janet Larkman (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies -BALLE), Allison Kouzovnikov (director, Community Foundation of NS)
