The theme for 2000 is "Creating Connections". Targeted audiences include:
farmers, including minority and sustainable farmers, policy-makers, youth,
educators, emergency food providers, faith-based community representatives,
urban farmers, educators, environmentalists, agribusiness representatives,

community gardeners, nutritionists, extension agents, food safety
researchers, chefs, and others interested in the region's food system.
The 2000 Summit will focus on community food security and have four major
subject areas—food, farming, hunger and youth. The youth sessions will focus
on youth involvement in food, farming and hunger; and will be held in a
half-day session on Thursday, November 30. A three-hour Symposium Session
may also be held on the morning of Friday, December 1 to allow in-depth
