Ohio has the land, soils, climate, and people needed to produce fresh, affordable and healthy food. We have a growing community of consumers who know what can be produced in Ohio, and when, and prefer to buy fresh and healthy food from local sources, from people they know.

It’s time we built a high-speed rail system connecting Cleveland-Columbus-Cincinnati. It’s time we fund our transit systems to be strong competitors to the car. It’s time we invested in Complete Streets (like the Euclid Corridor). It’s time we fixed our potholes. It’s time we stopped building new highways to nowhere. It’s time we had a real conversation about investing in a transportation system that recognizes climate change, peak oil, and sustainable solutions.
