Whitney Murphy put together a very interesting panel for the meeting with the title “Ag Advocacy in Urban Centers Roundtable”.
The panel consisted of:
- Taylor Sills, Executive Director, Georgia Cotton Commission
- Chris Lemons, Director of Programs & Outreach, Foodwell Alliance
- JoHannah Biang, Farm Manager, UGArden
- Matthew Kulinski, Coordinator Georgia Grown
- Joy Crosby, Assistant Executive Director, Georgia Peanut Commission
The panel addressed several topics of interest to all of the GCPA members and shared very compelling insights and comments about the image of agriculture and farming in urban areas.
One fascinating take-away — farmers are celebrities!
This was quite a unique and inspiring session for the meeting. Thanks to all the participants!
