I missed this when it came out. Brian Ries at Creative Loafing has a great write-up of the Tampa City Council special discussion about local agriculture (posted Nov. 5).
“Two weeks ago, Tampa City Councilmember Mary Mulhern held a special discussion meeting on community-supported agriculture to address some of Pollan’s very issues. Fellow members John Dingfelder and Linda Saul-Sena were there, along with Tampa’s Green Officer Thom Snelling, Rick Martinez of Sweetwater Organic, Andrea Hildebran of Green Florida and about 20 concerned citizens.”
Good for Mulhern for calling the meeting and getting people together to talk about this issue! And, thanks to Brian for reporting it.

If you would like a dvd of our discussion meeting please call my office and we will get you one. It was a great turnout with many people in the area already working on urban agriculture who shared their knowledge and experience.
