consultant to many thousands of acres of organic farms in California.  
The Green Connection is an electronic forum on PRODIGY.  for the

Environmentally conscious farmers and other agricultural companies can
now establish business contacts, read news and information and
participate in discussions over a wide array of environmental business
topics.  Recently, The Green Connection won Computer Currents award

"Organic farming is shedding its 60's hippie image," says Ed Davis. 
"It has grown  rapidly into a $1.9 billion plus a year business.  Many
organic farmers now have thousands of acres under cultivation."  Ed
Davis brings his expertise in agronomy, bioremediation and entomology
to The Green Connection's growing list of experts on forum.  

The Green Connection assists and accelerates the market for
environmental products and services by acting as a virtual business
convention.  Sellers and buyers of environmental products can network
on this forum and find extensive practical materials for the business
of the environment. The Green Connection  addresses environmental
topics of interest such as Energy, Packaging, Marketing, New
Technologies, Bioremediation and many others.  It includes interactive
announcements, news and events, a bulletin board, a large library of
information, plus recycled product listings.

The Green Connection was formed in 1993 by EPIC--The Environmental
Product Information Center--with one goal:  to become an information
