Lecture: Joel Salatin: Dancing with Dinner: The Dynamics of Healthy Food Chains

Joel Salatin is on the forefront of what may be the most important global issue facing the world today: How to create a world food system not enslaved by multinational corporations and governmental subsidies. Named the most innovative farmer in the nation, he is an articulate voice of the natural food movement, whose holistic approach is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. Salatin will discuss how, for the first time in history, most food is consumed without an awareness of its place, heritage, social or spiritual implications. His numerous books detail a sustainable approach that has been featured in "The Omnivore?s Dilemma," National Geographic and Smithsonian magazines. Salatin states, "Our culture is yearning anew to rediscover our old dance partner ? that partner who romanced us to dinner.?
