Community, Local, and Regional Food Systems (CLRFS) Forum Executive Summary | Virginia’s food system directly impacts the survival and viability of farms and farmland; the economic development of rural and urban communities; the care, restoration, and resilience of ecological resources such as local waterways; and critical health issues. We use the language of community, local, and regional food systems to broadly define a complex and interconnected set of systems and pathways that comprise sustainable food production, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste management to bring about social, economic, and ecological change that benefits all residents. |

Diagnosing Stink Bug Injury to Vegetables | In the mid-Atlantic U.S. vegetable crops are attacked by several different
stink bug species (1). The primary pest species include: the invasive brown
marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys, which has become the dominant
species in most landscapes (2), brown stink bug, Euschistus servus Say, which
is the most common species attacking tomatoes; green stink bug, Chinavia
hilaris Say (3); and harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica, which is
primarilly a pest of brassica vegetables only (4). All stink bugs are

buds, leaves, and stems of plants. |
