Where: Batesville Middle School, 210 N. Mulberry Street, Batesville, IN This seminar is for food growers & producers, hobby farmers, home gardeners, farmers’ market vendors and those interested in a safe, local food supply. The richness, variety and flavor of our communities, food systems, and diets are in jeopardy. Factory farms, agribusiness control of the food system, and mega-supermarkets have brought us low prices and convenience but have taken away many other essential aspects of our “food lives”, such as a personal relationship with food and with the people who produce it. They have also diminished our understanding of the basic nature of food and farming. More and more people are realizing this and are actively working to turn the tide and to preserve a food industry based on family-owned, small-scale businesses. Local farmers and small entrepreneurs are our best guarantee agains a world of Styrofoam-like, long-shelf-life tomatoes and diets dictated from the corporate boardrooms. |
