APRIL 24 - The Future of Food in Oregon, a talk by Ken Meter
Presented by the Oregon Food Bank
Ken Meter: The Future of Food in Oregon
7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 24
First Congregational Church
1126 SW Park Ave, Portland, OR
Imagine a food and agricultural economy in Oregon that is strong, thriving and sustainable. Imagine Oregon producing enough food to feed its population.
Ken Meter, farm and food system analyst from Minnesota and president of the Crossroads Resource Center, helps communities and states achieve goals such as these. Meter studies existing food systems and creates reports using hard economic data to demonstrate the importance of developing local, sustainable food systems.
Meter moves people from being passive recipients of the food system to active participants working toward positive change.
The Oregon Food Bank will accept food and cash donations at the door.
Comments
I'm sorry I missed this. It would sure be helpful if EcoTrust could send out reminder emails of events such as these a couple days prior to the event. I received an email for this and another event about a month prior and totally spaced till a day or two after the talk.
Thanks for bringing it though. Now off to see if anything has been written about it anywhere.
