Food, Farms and Forward Thinking

October 21, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

The current food system is rife with problems that have consequences for individual health as well as the environment. Farmland is vanishing at an alarming rate and the future of food in New England depends greatly on decisions made today. Are you curious about the farmland preservation work of Connecticut’s nonprofit, grassroots organizations, private land trusts and others?

Hear more from an expert panel of professionals, including: Chelsea Gazillo Working Lands Alliance Director; Kip Kolesinskas, Connecticut Conservation Consultant and Working Lands Alliance Co-Chair; John Guszkowski, Connecticut Resource Conservation and Development President and CME Engineering Senior Planner; and Latha Swamy, City of New Haven Food Policy Director, Food Policy and Planetary Health Consultant and Working Lands Alliance member.

Learn about the tools available to protect farmland and plan for social, economic and environmental enrichment in the community. There will be an opportunity to ask questions of the panel and receive a handout of recommended resources.

Register ONLINE. Then look for a confirmation email with the Zoom link and other details.

This event is sponsored by Granby Public Library, Granby Agricultural Commission and Granby Land Trust.
