"Local Food to the Rescue" @ Stanford 2/19

In The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan spends a significant amount of time with a Joel Salatin from Polyface Farm, a sustainable farmer who goes "beyond organic". The insights provided through Pollan working on Salatin's farm (and in contrast visiting with large industrial organic farms who seem "green" in name only) are one of the more interesting dynamics in Pollan's well-written and now famous book about food production, food systems, and what we should eat.

Part of The Ethics of Food & The Environment series at Stanford, Joel Salatin will be giving a talk about local food systems.
