Eco Farm Day 2011 - For the sake of Food Safety and Security
February 25, 2011 to February 26, 2011
The theme of Eco Farm Day 2011 is 'For the Sake of Food Safety and Security'. The safety and security of food supply is in deep trouble throughout the world. Chronic and acute food-borne diseases emanate from the industrial production of food, involving longer than normal storage and delivery to consumers as highly processed and boxed eatables. The wide use of pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse wastes, and GMOs poses a phenomenal risk. The most obvious answer to this dilemma is to grow and consume organically produced food, but the market faces such demand to which it is unable to cater. The outsourcing of organic cultivation to far flung places and even certain deserts across the globe is neither tenable nor acceptable. The only alternative is to produce and consume local organic foods. Strategies will be discussed on how to resolve these issues in the best interests of the public.
This message will be delivered through keynote speakers Dr. Shiv Chopra and author Margaret Webb, 12 workshops, a trade show with over 30 exhibitors, and a fully organic lunch.
Date: February 25, 26th, 2011, Ramada Inn, Cornwall, Ontario
