SARE ANNOUNCES WINNER OF NEW VOICES
CONTEST
In support of SARE’s mission
to advance sustainable practices and innovations to the whole
of American agriculture, SARE's 2008 New Voices Contest called
for written, audio, and or video submissions that articulate new
perspectives and illustrate an inspirational and pioneering vision
for the advancement of sustainable agriculture over the next 20
years.
Contestants were asked to address the entrant’s
vision of how truly sustainable production and marketing systems
would improve profitability, stewardship of the land and water,
and quality of life for farmers, ranchers and their communities.
Applicants were asked to highlight practical strategies for evoking
deeply held and/or broadly shared values to advance sustainable
agriculture on a wider scale.
Contest winner Shoshanah Inwood (OH) will present
her entry at the closing plenary session
of SARE’s 20th Anniversary New American Farm Conference,
to be held March 25-27, 2008 in Kansas City, Missouri. Top finalists
Mike Emers (AK), Jessica McAleese (ID) and Arion Thiboumery (IA)
will also participate in sessions at the conference at SARE’s
expense.
