Agricultural Policy: Legislative Seminar Workshop by Scott Marlow

May 15, 2013 by chris

[powerpress]

 


This workshop on agricultural policy, from our 2013 Legislative Seminar on April 11, covers a wide range of topics – from the US Farm Bill to fracking to the meaning of “local” and “sustainable” food. Scott Marlow led the workshop. Scott currently serves as Executive Director of the Rural Advancement Foundation International-USA (RAFI). His specialty is financial infrastructure, including access to credit and risk management for value-added producers. He previously directed RAFI’s Farm Sustainability program, providing in-depth financial counseling to farmers in crisis, education on disaster assistance programs and access to credit, and addressing the needs of mid-scale farmers who are increasing the sustainability of their farms by transitioning to higher-value specialty markets.

Scott has served on the steering committee of the National Task Force to Renew Agriculture of the Middle, the Organization Council of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, the Board of the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group, the Board of the North Carolina Farm Transition Network, and currently serves on the NC Agricultural Advancement Consortium and the Advisory Committee of the NC Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund. Scott holds a Masters degree in Crop Science from NC State University, and a BA in Political Science from Duke University.

    I am a lecture in the field of agriculture (Department of Agricultural Economics and extension, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria) It is interest when I read so much efforts been made by individuals in areas of agriculture for human capacity/development; more interesting when initiated by private sectors.
    Kind regards,
