Massachusetts FSC at the Topsfield Fair
For the first time in its history the Massachusetts Food
System Caucus (FSC) convened at the
iconic Topsfield Fair to engage with agricultural and fishing industry
stakeholders learning about their experiences in the industry, the challenges
they face, food security infrastructure grants and ways to further support
their efforts.
As Senate Co-Chair of the FSC, I joined my fellow FSC House
Co-Chair and Chair of the Joint Committee on Agriculture Representative Paul
Schmid and Co-Chair Representative Andy X. Vargas, my Topsfield State
Legislative Delegation, Kristin Kassner State Representative 2nd Essex District
and Sally Kerans for State Representative, and my FSC member colleagues from
the Senate and House, in listening to the guest speakers share their needs to
continue to keep the farming and fishing industries thriving for generations to
come.
