Focus of the Agriculture Committee

Our League's September 2011 Fall Kick-Off Meeting featured a presentation on GMOs.

Norman Dalsted, CSU Department of Agriculture and Research Economics
Daniel Bush, CSU Department of Biology
Sylvia Tawse, Boulder County organic farmer
Paul Schlegel, Boulder County conventional farmer

In February 2011, we presented an overview of the Boulder County's farming support structure, organic farming and ranching, GMOs, water delivery, and the role of Boulder County Open Space in promotion of local agriculture. Feedback we have received regarding our presentations has all been positive, and the energized committee is considering future additional educational activities.
