Get Involved: Seeking College Students Who Care About Food

The National Youth Campaign for Just, Sustainable and Healthy Farm and Food Policy is looking for students from across the country to get involved with the 2007 Farm Bill Debate. The Campaign is creating a team of college students who are interested in strengthening local food systems and community food security by influencing the policies in the upcoming 2007 Farm Bill. They are looking for enthusiastic and committed activists to:
• participate in bi-monthly conference calls
• help organize students on campus
• help educate fellow students and university communities about food policy and community food security.

For more information, email Jessie@foodsecurity.org or call 202 543-1300. And join the team at the 3rd National Farm to Cafeteria and Food Policy Conference March 16-19 in Baltimore, MD. More information at www.foodsecurity.org. -- Anna
