The local foods movement is taking the country by storm, and for good reason - communities that grow and consume more of their own food are also building their economies, strengthening ties between neighbors, attacking poverty, protecting open space, educating consumers, improving sustainability... and the list goes on. Listen to this call recording to find out how you can start building community through local foods. Featuring Ben Hewitt, Farmer and Author of The Town That Food Saved: How One Community Found Vitality in Local Food and Making Supper Safe: One Man's Quest to Learn the Truth About Food Safety and Neva Hassanein, Associate Professor at the University of Montana, Department of Environmental Studies.
