30 Year of Radical Ideas and New Roots for a Small Planet
January 20, 2010
Speaker: Frances Moore Lappé and Wes Jackson
Francis Moore Lappe’s groundbreaking work from the 1970s, Diet for a Small Planet, taught America that you can change the world and yourself by changing the way you eat - a radical idea at the time. In 1980, Wes Jackson wrote a critique of industrial agriculture that still is relevant today, and he proposed a “new” way of raising crops that could feed the world perpetually by working with the soil’s natural systems. It is time to take stock of where we are 30 years later.

Speaker: Eliot Coleman, Gary Hirshberg and Dick Peixoto
While there is plenty of evidence about the damages wrought by large-scale industrial agriculture, is there any evidence that as organic and sustainable companies scale up, they betray the core values that made them sustainable in the first place? Does large-scale automatically equal bad? Conversely, does small-scale automatically equal good?
