10:30AM - 11:45AM Breakout Session Two
Because everyone has to eat, food functions as the most common denominator for people across the world both to the earth and one another. Engage yourself by interacting with a panel of area experts who reveal how food acts as an agent for social change and leads to greater personal and public health. Calculate the distance food travels to reach your plate and reduce your "food miles" and carbon footprint by tapping into sustainable local food systems comprised of area gardens, farms, markets, cooperatives, and community supported agriculture programs. Whet your appetite for fresh, local foods and be inspired to challenge yourself and change your world with your food choices!
