Bringing Everyone to the Table by Alan Guebert (Keynote address) Our fathers didn’t farm like their fathers and our children won’t farm like us. Sure, agriculture – farming – changes. People change. Thinking changes. Congress changes. Times change. Good food, however, changes little. It’s pretty much the same today as you remember when you were a kid. Why then is there such a large disconnect between what today’s farm policymakers think is good food policy and what actually is “good food” policy? Is there an intersection of federal farm policy and local food? Pull up a chair, let’s talk about this.
