What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Ben Grosscup Ben Grosscup coordinates the 41st Northeast Organic Farming Association's annual summer conference, happening in two weeks. Describing key speakers, events, food, and opportunities for fun, Ben shows how state and regional organic conferences keep driving the evolution of sustainable agriculture as practice and policy. For example, soil microbiology's role in delivering nutrients to plants is a leading topic today; the decisive role of human gut bacteria in maintaining human health is an emerging issue. Conference speakers bring together these topics. And another plenary speaker uses the current state of gm labeling efforts as context for emphasizing the need for cross-issue movement building. Ben also describes sessions on skill-building for farmers and consumers in the upwards of 140 sessions offered.
