History and Relevance of The Farmer's Pledge by Mark Dunau In the afternoon and evening of February 12 at New York University, an organic food conference was held. The name of the program was Organic Food in the US and Europe: Comparative Perspectives, Practices, and Flavors. It featured nine speakers from the Untied States and Europe. Mark Dunau, New York farmer and member of the Board of Directors of NOFA-NY, was invited to speak about The Farmer's Pledge.
