There is an important new twist this year: Growing Health 2012 will be a two-day event. On Tuesday, October 16th the event will debut a statewide meeting entitled: the “NYS Healthy Farms, Healthy People Meeting” to consider how agriculture in NY and the Northeast can improve the health of NY residents. The day of learning and discussion will be crowned by the well-known evening tasting event featuring locally grown and produced food and beverages. On Wednesday, October 17th, there will be a conference for interdisciplinary learning and dialogue. The event will be open to the public and held at the Riverwalk Hotel and Conference Center in Binghamton, NY. Join us and engage with leaders from multiple sectors to explore the dynamic connections between agriculture, food, and well-being. Growing Health 2012 will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders from many sectors to discuss the vital relationships between healthy soil, healthy farms, locally produced safe foods, healthy families, the environment, and the economy. Attend the debut statewide meeting, the evening local foods tasting, the conference, or all three events for dynamic learning, tasting and discussion.
