Join us at the PACG Local Foods Initiative. Together we can help to educate and mobilize municipalities and their citizens to strengthen the Quad City area and foster a source of healthy, local, safe food.
You are what you eat; a popular saying takes on new meaning in our diets today. The food we eat has changed drastically in the last 30 years: Factory Farms, Genetically Modified Food ingredients, Cloned Animal Food ingredients, contaminated food, and toxins in imported foods. We face a daily challenge trying to ensure that the food that we eat and feed our family is safe, healthy, environmentally-friendly and supporting our local economy.
PACG is energized to announce its newest forum, the Local Foods Initiative Forum.
The Local Foods Initiative goal is to assist in the development of a healthy, safe, sustainable, local food supply for the Quad Cities.
Four components of the Local Foods Initiative will work to educate and move to action citizens, businesses and local government to pursue a local food supply. There are:
-Farm to Cafeteria
-Community Gardens
-Local Food Coop
-An Annual Local Foods Summit
The first Annual PACG Local Foods Summit will be Saturday September 26th at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. Save the date!
Join us at the PACG Local Foods Initiative. Together we can help to educate and mobilize municipalities and their citizens to strengthen the Quad City area and foster a source of healthy, local, safe food.
If you are interested in joining the Local Foods Initiative or one of its committees, please contact Rachel Griffiths.
