The purpose of the workshop is to bring people together to improve the Brattleboro-area food system by first identifying, and then implement, specific practical actions that will increase the availability, variety, supply of, and demand for food produced on local farms. The emphasis was on creating on-going action groups which will commit themselves to working on doable, "low hanging fruit" projects.
