Some wished we could have more time together and longer breaks. Some mentioned they would have liked greater community representation or more committee members present. As with many of our Steering Committee meetings, many were impressed with the power of a diverse group getting together to work on common issues and learn a lot from the linkages and connecting with the group. Many people are interested in how VFC will move forward into Phase 3. Most other comments were unique and varied from wanting info on the VFC grantees to wondering about the impact of new technology or farm structure on the future of the food system.
Most people are interested in staying in communication in the interim between meetings.
Some said they needed more time. Other comments include reviewing the budget, experiencing new cultures, defining project by-laws, determining institutional commitment, and increasing student participation.
