Food security means having a strong, local food
system and meeting our food needs locally.
A nutritious and quality, reliable food source, local food systems also provide opportunities for job growth in our region.

The Food System Summit will engage participants to explore ways we can increase and strengthen our local food system to benefit our communities. All are welcomed; growers, consumers, local food industry, interested groups and individuals.

Farmington’s Occupy group planning two demonstration events as 2012 gets underway

Courtesy of #OccupyFarmington
The first is a delegation of Occupy members who plan to carpool to Santa Fe to represent Farmington at an Occupy the Roundhouse demonstration timed to coincide with the opening of New Mexico’s legislature.
The Farmington contingent will stand in solidarity with groups representing cities and towns from all parts of the state. The demonstrators will be joined by a group that is walking from Los Lunas to Santa Fe to give advance publicity to the protest.
Multiple events are included in the Santa Fe Occupy event. Contact syntax976@hushmail.com for more information or directions to the Santa Fe Roundhouse.
The occupiers want to draw attention to the fact that legislators convening at the Roundhouse on January 17 represent all New Mexico citizens’ best interests, not only those of their own districts.
The second demonstration will be held at the federal court house in Albuquerque. It is timed to coincide with the second anniversary of the Supreme Court of the United States’ landmark Citizens United decision that defined corporations as people. The 5-4 ruling handed down by the top federal court justices allowed the creation of the so-called Super PACS — the anonymously funded political action committees that are now pumping huge amounts of money into candidates’ campaigns.
The decision is presently being challenged by multiple states that include California and Montana. More information about the January 20 event in Albuquerque is available through the Web site http://movetoamend.org.
Contact (505) 360-0176 for details about the Albuquerque courthouse event.
