Dave Zuckerman on the food system, local food and COVID-19

May 2, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

COVID-19 and the food system:  immigrants, local food and resilience

Given the current circumstances, we are not holding the full Grange meeting, using the ritual, the sashes for officers, and the rousing sing-alongs.   Instead….
Our 2nd “Virtual Program”, at 5:00 PM on May 2nd will feature VT organic farmer and Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman, discussing the future of food.  The pandemic has shown us weaknesses in our current system:  U.S. farms are having difficulties getting the immigrant workers they need.  Large food facilities like meat-packing plants are shutting down amidst spikes of COVID-19.  Long distance supply chains seem more fragile than ever.   What are sensible policy responses to building a more resilient, self-sufficient food system?   As individuals, what are some of the best things for us to be planting to feed ourselves and help our neighbors?
David Zuckerman has thought about food resilience for decades.    He’ll share his thoughts on these issues, and other questions people bring up in this hour-long Zoom meeting.

Here is an mp3 recording of this program & discussion, introduced by Carl:
