Can New England Feed Itself? How Close Can We Get to Sustainability?

Farmers and producers are encouraged to attend kick-off event for the 2013 Let’s Talk About Food Festival. Speakers include Chef and CEO of Wholesome Wave, Michel Nischan, MDAR Commissioner Gregory Watson, US Rep Chellie Pingree (D-ME), CityFresh president Glynn Lloyd, Timothy Griffin from Tufts, and Brian Donohue from Brandeis – all future oriented, thought provoking speakers who will help us think about how close we can get to sustainability as a region, and how to identify strategies and trade-offs as we move into the future. What role does urban agriculture play? How do we think about a food plan for New England in a regional context? Can we go from three or four days of food sustainability to a week or more? What kind of infrastructure do we need to get from here to there? What mix of crops? The event is free and open to the public, come and share your insights. Click here for details.
