Farmland is the Heart of the Food System

Please join the Connecticut Working Lands Alliance (WLA) for our 2024 Annual Meeting! This event is a luncheon to celebrate WLA’s achievements for the year and to present our policy priorities for the 2025 legislative session. 

We will hear from WLA Steering Committee members, legislators, and a keynote speaker, Julia Freedgood, who is a Senior Fellow and Senior Program Advisor for American Farmland Trust. Julia will present on her recent book Planning Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems: From Soil to Soil while touching on Connecticut’s need to protect more farmland to promote strong local economies and food systems. The Annual Meeting will also include an award ceremony recognizing farmland protection champions in the state. This year, we will celebrate “Farmland is the Heart of the Food System.”

Please register by November 1. If you have any questions about our 2024 Annual Meeting, feel free to contact Eliza Paterson at epaterson@farmland.org 

Thank you and we hope to see you there!
