Grange Hall Event Food Systems

Food systems can have a negative or positive impact on the environment, our bodies, our communities and the other sentient creatures we share our earth with. On one hand, food systems should ensure food security and improved nutrition, and they can achieve other social, economic or environmental goals. But there is also the harsh reality of food scarcity and insecurity in our communities. As food consumers, we each have an opportunity to impact our food system. During this talk you will get to know our Adirondack food system and your role in it.

SPEAKER: Racey Henderson is an entrepreneur and consultant who has her hands in the dirt. Her family owns and runs Reber Rock Farm in Essex, NY, a diversified grass-based livestock and maple farm. She is active in local food system advocacy in the Adirondacks, and is co-founder of a small craft business, Ndara, based in the Central African Republic. She has worked for the UN, the US government and many international non-governmental organizations and is an Essex County Farm Bureau board member.
