Supporters of sustainable farming will meet Monday in East Lansing.

The Sierra Club’s Gail Philbin says the “Farming Our Future” conference is intended to help move Michigan away from industrial agriculture.

“We want to help farmers get the information they need to make those kind of changes,” says Philbin.

Philbin says moving toward more local, sustainable foods will be good for people’s health and the environment.
