2016 Governor’s Local Food & Agriculture Summit
/by Maura HennIn October 2016, over two-hundred Montanans gathered in Bozeman for the second Governor’s Summit on Local Food and Agriculture. A similar summit had been held in Great Falls in 2007, convened by then-Governor Brian Schweitzer. At the request of current-Governor Steve Bullock, the Grow Montana Food Policy Coalition organized a committee made up of an
array of organizations, agencies, and university partners that worked together to plan the event, held over the course of two days at Montana State University, October 28-29, 2016.
Watch:
Since 2005, Grow Montana has advocated for changes in state policies that would strengthen Montana’s food and agriculture economies. The coalition has since led projects on food systems research, producing education materials, and stewarded policy change to support Montana’s food producers.
