OEC's 2006 Forum for Ag & the Environment


Greetings!

As the economic, social and environmental price of 
petroleum dependence goes up and up, biobased 
alternatives for fuel and products are moving center 
stage in the marketplace.  With purchasing 
preferences for biofuels and other biobased products 
surfacing at state and federal levels, agricultural 
producers may have opportunities to benefit 
financially.

Sustainable Agriculture as an Engine of Economic Development

The past few years have seen an exploding interest 
in the economic development opportunities offered 
by “sustainable” agriculture. Several new efforts are 
seeking to analyze the current scope and future 
potential of this segment of the agricultural industry, 
and to identify ways to help it grow. We will hear 
from Jennifer Allen of Portland State University, who 
is completing one such analysis with funding from the 
Kellogg Foundation, as well as other economic 
experts and producers. Join us in Portland in June 
(details TBA)
