“There is a quiet revolution stirring in our food system. It is not happening so much on the distant farms that still provide us with the majority of our food; it is happening in cities, neighborhoods and towns…It is a movement that has the potential to address a multitude of issues: economic, environmental, personal health and cultural.” – keynote speaker, Michael Ableman
