Greetings Jeanne,

I just read and am really excited about the Madison Sustainability Plan especially as it relates to promoting and fostering local food systems.  I wonder are there people, groups, organizations in place to carry forward the Madison food system plan?  I grew up in & went to high school in Madison.  I am currently earning my Masters degree studying Sustainable Food Systems in Maine.  I'd love to learn more about what's on the plate for Madison food, is there someone in particular with whom I might speak?

A small note- I found a little typo on the online pdf of the plan.  Page 19, final action point reads, "Work with local famers..."

I look forward to learning more!
Thanks much
Be well,
Matthew
