The second Wisconsin Local Food Summit was held in Eau Claire in late January, 2008. This summit was held in conjunction with the Midwest Value Added Agriculture Conference. John Ikerd was the keynote speaker. Buy Local, Buy Wisconsin has become a reality. Sessions were held to look at distribution systems, hunger and food security, food councils, etc.

New in 2008 was a Local Food System creative writing contest for Wisconsin college students. To see the winning entries, go to: http://web.mac.com/joelfriederich/Red_Cedar/2008_College_Winners.html
