Opening Keynote Address:“A Visionary County” Helge Hellberg, Marin Organic
Marin County (California) is well on the way to being the first all organic county in North America. The success of creating a community based on the economic and environmental sustainability of local organic production is attracting international interest and winning awards. In Marin County local organic food production feeds and supports not only the local infrastructure directly connected to farming, but sustains the overall health and wealth of the county. Every dollar spent in the community circulates an average of seven times before leaving that community.
