S.C. food supply is truly dependent on local farmers

Greenville Journal
The S.C. Organization for Organic Living is hoping to prevent (or at least educate people about) food shortages in South Carolina with its Cultivate conference. It will be held at Greenville Technical College’s Culinary Institute of the Carolinas on March 4 starting at 8 a.m.

The conference has 20 workshops designed to teach farmers and gardeners sustainable, organic growing methods to strengthen the local food system by exploring healing plants and fungi, soil health, and sharing agribusiness tips.

Cost is $65, including a locally sourced breakfast and lunch and four workshops.
