SUSTAINABLE FOOD ADVOCATES TO MAKE APPEARANCE AT
GREEN FESTIVAL 2007
WHAT: Karen Hudson, consultant for GRACE Factory Farm Project, will be speaking about sustainable food and moderating a panel on the same subject at this weekend’s Green Festival in Chicago.
WHO: Karen Hudson is a consultant for the GRACE Factory Farm project as well as founder of FARM (Families Against Rural Messes) and a fifth-generation family farmer. Diane Hatz, Executive Director of Sustainable Table and Executive Producer of The Meatrix, and Patty Lovera, Assistant Director of Food & Water Watch, will also attend the festival. The three can answer any questions at the Sustainable Table/GRACE booth. Stop by and say hello (and ask for details on the Sustainable Table cross country road trip to Farm Aid, kicking off August 6th in Hollywood, CA!)
WHEN: April 21 & 22, 2007
Karen Hudson to make her panel appearance at noon on Saturday the 21st. Sustainable Table will have a booth in the exhibit area both days.
WHERE: Chicago’s Green Festival
McCormick Place/Lakeside
2301 S. Lake Shore Drive
Chicago IL 60616
WHY: Because this weekend is Earth Day, and un-sustainable food production methods (factory farming) are not only harmful to animals, family farmers, and communities, but they are also a leading contributor to global warming, and a major source of water pollutants and land degradation.
GRACE Factory Farm Project (GFFP) works to help communities protect themselves from the adverse human health, environmental, and socioeconomic impacts of industrial livestock production.
Sustainable Table celebrates the sustainable food movement, educates consumers on food-related issues and works to build community through food.
Food & Water Watch is a nonprofit consumer rights group based in Washington, D.C. that challenges the corporate control and abuse of our food and water resources.
