A special presentation of the Crandell Theatre, Harvesting Change: Our Food Supply in Pandemic Times joins some of the region’s leading lights in sustainable food and farming in a discussion about the state of sustenance in these strange times.
Covid-19 has disrupted our food supply in profound ways, both locally and globally. Much of this change has been painful, exposing the many vulnerabilities and inequalities in our food system. Yet at the same time, there have been positive shifts as food suppliers and buyers nimbly adapt to the necessity of social distancing. While being literally driven apart by Covid-19, we are nonetheless sharing its historic shakedown of our food choices and behavior.
Join panelists Ruth Reichl (former editor of Gourmet Magazine, memoirist and cookbook editor), Kate Arding (co-founder of Talbott & Arding Cheese and Provisions in Hudson, NY and an internationally recognized authority on cheese) and Henry Corsun (Dogwood Farm, founder of Good Food Farmers) present a one-hour virtual discussion of this critical moment, examining both its problems and potential, with experts from the front lines of food supply and intelligence.
Moderated by Kathleen Finlay, President of The Glynwood Center for Food and Farming in Cold Spring NY, and former Director of Harvard’s Center for Health and the Global Environment.
