Growing Local Campaign: From Field To Fork

From American Farmland Trust, a short video about what producing local food means to communities, and why it is so important a goal to accomplish. The American Farmland Trust is a non-profit organization that began with farmers and conservationists in 1980, whose central purpose is to protect valuable farmland from being lost. Working across Federal, State and local levels, they are involved in helping enact legislation, and implement programs to protect farmers, and the environment.
