Iowa Farmers Union Host 2007 Food and Family Farm Presidential Summit
by Dave Murphy, IFU

On Saturday, November 10th, Iowa Farmers Union will host the 2007 Food and Family Farm Presidential Summit at the Downtown Marriott in Des Moines. Beginning at 10 am, the event will offer presidential candidates a platform to meet with Iowa voters, those from other Midwestern states and beyond, who care deeply about food policy and rural issues.

Co-sponsored by the National Farmers Union, the Center for Rural Affairs, and the League of Rural Voters, the event will give presidential candidates the chance to tout their vision for rural America to active voters.

The 2007 Food and Family Farm Presidential Summit is an exciting opportunity for those concerned with issues relating to food, agriculture, the environment, renewable energy, fair trade, and rural development to present their concerns to a national and international audience.

Billed as: "A Conversation on Agriculture, the Environment and Rural Economies in America," the event is designed to showcase each of the presidential candidate's policies on food, farm, conservation, and economic development and also highlight questions the audience may have for our future President.

This event will engage leaders in agriculture, the environment, and food policy from across the country, and we believe this is an excellent platform to connect with a wide audience of attendees who are concerned with these issues. (For more details, go to http://www.iafu.org)
