Post Carbon Fellow Erika Allen’s recent dialogue at UNC Asheville’s Highsmith University on ‘transformation through the food system’ was reported in the Asheville Mountain Xpress.

From the article:

On Jan. 20, a roomful of college students and citizens gathered at UNC Asheville’s Highsmith University Union to hear Growing Power‘s national projects director, Erika Allen, discuss food systems, urban farms and sustainability. She focused on “transformation through the food system.”

Allen launched into a dialogue on how the concept of social justice is entwined with food, and she encouraged people to take action, saying, “I want you all to think big about what to do.” Her presentation was part of UNCA’s Key Center Social Justice Coffee Hour series, and Growing Power, a national nonprofit and land trust, works to “provide equal access to healthy, high-quality, safe and affordable food for people in all communities.”
