[TheUWfarm] Jonathan Foley Wednesday (2/1) evening 6:30 Kane Hall

Dear Farmers,


A few folks have sent this to the list serve,  but as a reminder...you should go to this talk!

Kane Hall Wednesday night (tomorrow) 6:30.

Dr. Foley will be talking about feeding the world while sustaining the planet.   The UW Farm and the work we are doing is part of this larger vision for re-shaping our agricultural interactions.   I hope that you can be there.  I hope you will ask questions.   I hope someone will tell him about the terrific work that this community is up to.    I know he will be impressed by you all!

Looking for inspiration and motivation to get there tomorrow night?

Check out this article he wrote a couple of months ago for Scientific American.

Fondly,
Beth
