report - tell a friend

With the aid of a planning grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (awarded in May of 2004), the Michigan State University College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, including MSU Extension and the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, brought together a diverse group of stakeholders representing communities and the food system, agriculture, manufacturing, natural resource and environmental sectors of the economy. The result of this discussion is consensus on a program that will present leadership concepts in the context of current issues and bring together current leaders in government, non-profits, and industry to broaden their perspectives about key sustainability issues and consider how leadership for the common good can influence Michigan's future.
