Watersheds And 'Culture-Sheds': Developing Reciprocal Bio-Regional Culture from the Bay Area to the Mountains of California

With urban homesteading all the rage and backyard and vacant lot food production on the rise it appears we're taking big steps toward encouraging self-sufficiency in the Bay Area.  For sure people's requirements for connection to their food has changed.  But how much do the popular local underground food movements fit within a concept of food security, within a drive to control one's own food sources as in food sovereignity?  How much are they used as a stepping stone into the market for boutique products and small-business creation?  With Iso Rabins of ForageSF and the Underground Market, Antonio Roman-Alcalá of the SF Urban Agriculture Alliance and the SF Permaculture Guild, Leif Hedendal, and others TBA.
