Shiva will speak and present an international pledge for “Poison-Free Food & Farming by 2030” to state policymakers and collaborating advocacy organizations in front of the Vermont State House in Montpelier from
11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

 

Policymakers and representatives from various Vermont organizations will also speak and link their work to the goals put forward in the Pledge for Poison-Free Food and Farming.

 

Attendees will have the opportunity to sign on to the pledge and explore ways in which they can engage
in important policy issues related to limiting the use of synthetic pesticides, within Vermont and beyond. Supporting organizations, including the Vermont Healthy Soils Coalition, Rural Vermont, Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT), Soil4Climate, Building A Local Economy (BALE), the Real Organic Project and many others, will be present to promote their own initiatives related to the collective movement toward a poison-free world.
