Mark Winne is presenting in Seattle at Temple Beth Am

Mark Winne has worked for 40 years as a community food activist, writer, and trainer. From organizing breakfast programs for low-income children in Maine to developing innovative national food policies in Washington, DC, Winne has dedicated his professional life and writing to enabling people to find solutions to their own food problems as well as those that face their communities and the world. 

Of his first book, Closing the Food Gap: Resetting the Table in the Land of Plenty, Dr. Jane Goodall said, "It is heartening to find a book that successfully blends a passion for sustainable living with compassion for the poor." In his latest book, Food Rebels, Guerrilla Gardeners, and Smart-Cookin' Mamas: Fighting Back in an Age of Industrial Agriculture, Winne explores the challenges of our 21st Century food system and discuss ways we can ensure a food supply that is healthy, affordable, and safe for all.
