Building Community Food Webs with Ken Meter

Thursday December 9

12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Our current food system has decimated rural communities and confined the choices of urban consumers. Even while America continues to ramp up farm production to astounding levels, net farm income is now lower than at the onset of the Great Depression, and one out of every eight Americans faces hunger.

But a healthier and more equitable food system is possible. Come hear how grassroots food and farming leaders across the U.S. are tackling these challenges by building community food webs that strive for health, wealth, capacity, and connection.
