Essentially, we believe local and homegrown products are vital for food security and food safety. Moreover, we believe that fresh foods are essential for combating health woes like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
For these important reasons--as well as global economic and environmental challenges, we seek the support of all major gubernatorial candidates on this initiative during the 2010 campaign.

- The Governor and his staff rely upon social and traditional media as well as K-12 curricula to encourage new public and home food gardens.
- The Governor personally make a regular and concerted effort to link local food with general wellness in the public sphere.
