FoodHub community input to The White House Rural Council |
FoodHub’s own Deborah Kane has been invited to The White House to represent the interests of rural agriculture in our region at a roundtable discussion hosted by The White House Rural Council.
Background: on June 9th President Obama established the Council, the mission of which is to, “promote economic prosperity and quality of life in rural America.” According to the press release, the council’s activities in the coming weeks and months will focus on job creation and economic development by increasing the flow of capital to rural areas and promoting innovation, among other tactics.
Our question to you is, what do you want Deborah to tell The White House?
Deborah wants to land in DC armed with a full slate of ideas, innovations and creative thinking going on in the rural areas of our region so that she can highlight and elevate them, and the people and organizations working on them, as possible solutions to meet the challenges facing rural America.
Please answer this 2-question survey to provide your input. Deborah and the FoodHub team will comb through all the input and summarize key themes and great ideas to share at the roundtable in Washington.
Obviously not every good idea will get discussed that day, but will be provided directly to the USDA, and we will post a summary so that all the input and ideas are shared within the region.
If you'd like us to email you a copy directly, please include your contact information at the end of the survey. Thank you for your input!
