Eating "local": it's more than a buzzword it's a new economy. Consumers' renewed interest in where their food comes from, sustainability, as well as decreasing their carbon footprint, is transforming food production and sales--from farm to table. What does that really mean? How do we innovate and re-create systems and businesses to aggregate, process, market and distribute agricultural products to local customers? Join us for cocktails and light dinner and learn from Kathy Nyquist as she explains how to develop and sustain local and regional food systems.
Using the comprehensive green-roof system developed by Omni Ecosystems, The Roof Crop™ grows clean responsibly grown produce and delivers it with minimal environmental impact.
Our Speaker:
