There's Room at the Table with Choices 2010

Collaboration is defined in Wikipedia as a process where two or more people or organizations work together in an intersection of common goals – by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus. This year, collaboration is at the heart of the Michigan Nutrition Network’s Choices Conference with the theme, “Collaboration: There’s Room at the Table”.

Choices 2010 will be held March 10 & 11 and is expected to draw more than 200 attendees to the Michigan State University campus. Attendees will include school educators, MSU Extension educators, community and nonprofit organization members, healthcare workers, nutritionists and dietitians – with room at the table for all voices and backgrounds.

At CHOICES 2010, you'll:

* Learn how to conduct a successful urban garden project
* Discover food trends that are on the horizon
* Learn how to cook heart-healthy meals for families and vegetarian recipes
* Get on the food preservation band wagon
* Explore strategies for teaching nutrition education through school gardening

At Eat Local Food, we’re proud to be working with the Michigan Nutrition Network on the Choices Conference for the 4^th consecutive year. Eat Local Food’s “Garden Girls” was selected by the organization as the image to represent this year’s conference. Attendees will receive, among other materials, an Eat Local Food conference tote featuring the Garden Girls.

In addition to the Michigan Nutrition Network, sponsors of the conference also include Michigan State University Extension, Michigan Food & Fitness, and the United Dairy Industry of Michigan.
