Welcome to Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus!
Minneapolis is one of the most livable large cities in North America, a
delightful conference venue, an educational and food manufacturing center,
a hotbed of activity and activism relating to food and agriculture, and the
location of a diversity of interesting restaurants. Nearby St. Paul is the
seat of state government and the site of the University of Minnesota's
biological science departments and its College of Agriculture.
The 2001 joint meetings of AFHVS and ASFS will be held at the Humphrey
Institute for Public Affairs Conference Center on the "West Bank" of the
University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus. The Humphrey Institute is
two blocks away from the conference hotel (the Holiday Inn Metrodome), and
a half mile away from downtown Minneapolis. Inexpensive dormitory housing
will also be available.
In addition to the Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture (MISA)
and the Humphrey Institute of the University of Minnesota, the conference
co-hosts include a number of prominent Twin Cities-area NGOs working in the
areas of food and agriculture: the Land Stewardship Project, the Minnesota
Food Association, the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota, and the
Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.
