About the 2010 Regional Conference
The 2010 New England RC&D Conference was hosted by Berkshire-Pioneer RC&D Council of western MA. This year's conference "Feeding Ourselves, Fueling Ourselves," built on the theme of the 2009 event, with emphasis on the relationship between energy and food security. The conference showcased "buy local" efforts; public, private, and nonprofit partnerships; and highlighted energy projects of New England RC&D Councils, particularly those of Berkshire-Pioneer RC&D. The central event of the conference was a tour of three farms that have implemented noteworthy energy efficiency improvements & renewable energy projects with assistance from the Massachusetts Farm Energy Program.
