In the coming weeks, President-Elect Obama will name his selection for the next Secretary of Agriculture. Belmont Butchery, along with many others, has encouraged our President-Elect to nominate a Secretary who will bring sustainable change to the United States Department of Agriculture.
We now offer you the chance to add your voice to ours.
This is important to us, and we feel it is important to you, because the new Secretary of Agriculture will play in revitalizing our rural economies, protecting our nation's food supply and our environment, improving human health and well-being, rescuing the independent family farmer, and creating a sustainable renewable energy future.
Current signers to this letter include Rick Bayless, Michael Pollan, Tanya Cauthen, Wendell Berry, Marion Nestle, Bill McKibben, Wes Jackson, Catherine Sneed and Alice Waters, among many others. Won't you add your voice to theirs?
