Going Locavore: Urban Food Innovation and Community Transformation | Michael Pollan and Oran Hesterman
Published 4 years ago
Description
Our misbegotten industrial food system is one of our greatest vulnerabilities. Its dangerously fossil-fueled, toxic, monocultural and centralized. The real cost of cheap food is very high to both people and planet. Urban food innovators are designing vibrant new local food economies built on environmental and ecological integrity, sustainability, diversity and equity. Join author Michael Pollan, Fair Food Foundation CEO Oran Hesterman, faith-based change-maker James Ella James and student leader Victoria Carter for a smorgasbord of nourishing morsels from the emerging locavore movement.
Find out more about Michael Pollan at his website, and the work Oran Hesterman is doing at the Fair Food Network website.
