“International Food Crisis?
Developing food security at home and abroad.”
Monday, June 16, 6pm
As global food insecurity becomes increasingly real, more energy must be focused on sustainable agricultural practices and local production. This panel represents organizations leading the way to food security. Timothy La Salle, CEO of the Rodale Institute will speak about their 60 years of research on regenerative farming methods that can curb global warming, improve the nutrient value of food and prevent famine when farmers use these affordable and sustainable techniques. Brian Snyder, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture will speak about the organization’s work to improve the economic and social prosperity of Pennsylvania food and agriculture. Ann Karlen, Director of the Fair Food Project will give the local perspective on bringing locally grown food into the Philadelphia marketplace and promoting a humane and sustainable agriculture for the Greater Philadelphia region.
