As the House Chair of the Environment Committee, Gentile will represent Connecticut at the 12th annual event.
The LACS provides a non-partisan educational opportunity on agriculture and rural issues for state and provincial officials at no cost to taxpayers thanks to scholarships from the organization awarded to invited legislators.
“As the Chair
of the Environment Committee, it is critically important that I know and
understand the issues and policies that impact food production, natural
resources management and animal rights. This leadership conference is a perfect opportunity for me to meet and
learn from legislative and industry leaders from all over the country,” Gentile said.
“Educational opportunities such as this provide a
framework for developing sound public and economic policies. Agriculture is a billion dollar business and could provide us the
opportunity to create jobs and infuse money into our economy.”
Features over the weekend include sessions on dairy policy, animal welfare and food production.
The State
Agriculture and Rural Leaders group provides an unparalleled
opportunity for elected officials with an interest in agriculture to
work together, collaborate and create problem-solving
partnerships. Visit www.sarl.us.
