"American Food Production and Two Slow Motion Ecological Crises"

Tom Philpott, award-winning writer on food politics and correspondent for Mother Jones

Tom Philpott is award-winning food/agriculture correspondent for Mother Jones.  His public talk is entitled "American Food Production and Two Slow Motion Ecological Crises".  He will show how the US food system is highly dependent on two regions—California and the Corn Belt— both of which are in the midst of long-brewing, slow-motion ecological crises.

This talk will be followed by a coffee reception.
