Thinking Beyond Our Plates: Critical Questions to Find “Food Truth”

Award winning writer and radio host Melinda Hemmelgarn

health and agriculture to promote “food system literacy.” In her
presentation, she’ll define “good” food and offer a thoughtful
critique of media messages about food and agriculture. She’ll
also discuss ways to use art and media to drive the good food
revolution, and show a collection of compelling images from
the advocacy project “FARM: Food, Art, Revolution, Media.”
