The Science of Local Food

From improved nutrition to better environmental stewardship, local food systems have been offered as a panacea for much of what ails us. Culturally, local food systems connect us in a way that builds communities between rural and urban families, producers and consumers. While many of us love knowing where our food comes from – and often the farmer who grew it – does science back up the idea that local food is more nutritious? Can it improve our environment? Does the food taste better? Join us for a panel discussion on the intersection of the science and culture of local food Brian Halweil, Robert LaValva, and Jennifer Phillips.
