Is Sustainable Food and Agriculture the Future?

What: Join farmer Joel Salatin and distinguished scholars and experts Dr. Ignacio Chapela and Sibella Kraus to discuss the prospects and challenges of sustainable food and agriculture.

Why: As the emerging sustainable Food Movement calls for a departure from industrial farm systems, and critics claim that sustainable agriculture "can't feed the world," it is hard to know which side to believe. This event will address the many benefits of sustainable farming and sort out real criticisms from those that are unfounded.

Featured Speaker: Joel Salatin, Farmer, Lecturer, Polyface Farm
