16 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Mary Beth Miller <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I represent a cohort of farmers looking for ways to build stronger local food systems through <br /> small-scale farming and climate-smart agricultural practices at a time when land prices make <br /> available farmland inaccessible to most beginning farmers. The connections and relationships <br /> have built over the past 14 years shape my viewpoints, and I am adept at connecting with all <br /> personality types, education levels,job titles, and backgrounds. <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s) that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br /> My husband and I own a farm in Cedar Grove, where we live and raise sheep. I also work for a <br /> farm conservation organization that educates and advocates for sustainable farms and local food <br /> across the Carolinas. This might be perceived as a conflict of interest to those directly opposed <br /> to my goals of creating more just and equitable food systems that are good for the land and the <br /> community. <br /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 4/30/2024 9:53:59 AM Date Printed: 5/3/2024 <br />
