Sustainability Matters

Frances Moore Lappé says our greatest problems are not global climate chaos or global hunger, for solutions to these challenges are known. All we really have to worry about, she says, is our widespread sense of powerlessness to pursue solutions. Ms. Lappé will challenge us to develop an "eco-mind"-able to think like an ecosystem-to find our power to create the world we want.

Ms. Lappé is the author of 17 books including Diet for a Small Planet, and co-founder of Food First and Small Planet Institute, a collaborative network for research and education seeking to infuse democracy into everyday life. She received the Right Livelihood Award and the James Beard Foundation 'Humanitarian of the Year' Award for her lifelong impact on the way people all over the world think about food, nutrition, and agriculture.
