The Land Connection
Many Americans are unaware of how the food they eat is created and transported, who is behind the whole effect, and at what environmental cost. But a growing national movement is building greater awareness, along with cusumer demand for healthier, local, organic and sustainable options — strengthening economies while bringing the worlds of the farm and the metropolis closer together.
The Land Connection is a non-profit organization saving Illinois farmland and training new farmers in Evanston. Terra Brockman, food and farm writer and executive director of The Land Connection will discuss the latest trends in the local food production movement with Corby Kummer, senior food editor for “The Atlantic Monthy,” and several organic farmers on Nov. 3, 12:00-1:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church at The Chicago Temple.
“There’s a whole movement here toward health and local food production,” said David Miller, the director of farmland projects for The Land Connection. “We think and hope people will continue to support the local food production movement.”
