LOCAL FOOD TO THE RESCUE, a talk by Joel Salatin

Location: Michigan Theater, 603 E. Liberty st. Ann Arbor, MI
Speaker: Joel Salatin, farmer and author
Tickets available at the co-op or through Ticketmaster.com

Joel Salatin is the self-proclaimed "Christian-libertarian-environmentalist-capitalist-lunatic-Farmer" made famous when his "beyond organic" small-scale family farm was featured in Michael Pollan’s bestselling book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and in the documentary films Food, Inc. and Fresh.  Since his cutting-edge sustainable farm, Polyface Inc., began inspiring people throughout the world, his charismatic nature and ability to produce provocative and poignant proclamations about the unfortunate state of our food system have made him one of the most influential voices in the sustainable food movement today. 

Salatin operates his farm with the idea that nature is the best teacher when it comes to agriculture. This lecture, delivered in Salatin’s refreshing oratorical style, will focus on the solutions to the ills he observes in our food system.  He’ll share how his farm serves as a prototype to the way local food can lead to our agricultural, environmental, and nutritional salvation.  Noting that our food system now faces challenges in biosecurity, food safety, energy, integrity, and humane animal husbandry, he will explain how local production, processing, distribution, and patrons in the Ann Arbor area can reshape our food future.

Tickets: $15 for General Public, $13 for Students & PFC Members.  Available at ticketmaster.com or surcharge-free at PFC.
