“Local Food, Good Jobs” Workshop

In this participatory workshop, led by Olivia Geiger and Helen Scharber, participants will develop tools for analyzing how local food production–from growing to processing to retail–fits into the broader economy. In particular, the group will explore reasons why balancing good paying jobs with competitive and affordable food prices is so difficult, along with strategies for increasing the quality of jobs in the food sector and the affordability of local organic food.
