    I want to make sure that you know about the 4th Annual Seedstock Sustainable Agriculture Conference: “Innovation and the Rise of Local Food” – http://seedstockconference.com – scheduled for Nov. 3 – 4, 2015, at UC San Diego. The conference will explore the confluence of agricultural innovation and the escalating demand for locally grown food.
    Presented by Seedstock, a social venture that fosters the development of robust and sustainable local food systems, the event will kick off with the “Future Farm Field Trip” (http://bit.ly/1gXUYke) onTuesday, Nov. 3, which will offer a limited number of attendees an excursion into the diversity of urban and state-of-the-art indoor agriculture operations in Southern California. The “Conference Day” onWednesday, Nov. 4 will bring together experts in local food marketing, policy, community food access, urban farming and new business creation to look at solutions that entrepreneurs, communities and growers can implement to develop vibrant local food systems.
