WBUR environmental correspondent Barbara Moran moderates a conversation exploring New England’s need for more self-sufficiency, resilience and equitable access to food. Plus, learn practical skills you can take home with a gardening demonstration and purchase goodies from the specially curated farmer’s market the station will host in the CitySpace lobby.
New England once grew local crops to meet demand. The global pandemic exposed the region’s need for more self-sufficiency, resilience and equitable access to food. Participants in the event include Tamar Haspel, Washington Post columnist and author of “To Boldly Grow: Finding Joy, Adventure, and Dinner in Your Own Backyard,” Tamika R. Francis, founder, chief chef (and bottle washer) at Food & Folklore and Lisa Fernandes, communication director, at Food Solutions New England. There will also be a gardening demonstration led by Quontay Turner, owner of Emerald City Plant Shop.
