CFFPI - Ohio Local Leader Roundtables

The OSU Center for Farmland Policy Innovation and the Swank Program in Rural-Urban Policy are hosting several local leader roundtables on focused and current local farmland protection issues.  The purpose of the roundtables is to give local leaders interested in starting or furthering farmland protection programs the opportunity for small group learning from experts and peer-to-peer exchanges.  Local leaders in farmland protection (county commissioners, township trustees, planning and zoning officials, land trust leaders, etc.) are invited to participate.

These roundtables are free of charge.  However, seating is limited to 15-20 participants and an RSVP is required.

• March 2007 - Zoning in Support of Agriculture
