Going Locavore: Urban Food Innovation and Community Transformation MICHAEL POLLAN

“If you live in a community like where I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and you have enough money, you can live as if the system’s not broken at all. I can travel just 40 miles east to inner city Detroit, where we have a population of close to 900,000 people, the eleventh largest city in the United States without a single major grocery store in the entire city.”

Urban food innovators are designing vibrant new local food economies built on environmental and ecological integrity, sustainability, diversity and equity. Join author Michael Pollan, Fair Food Foundation CEO Oran Hesterman, faith-based change-maker James Ella James and student leader Victoria Carter for a smorgasbord of nourishing morsels from the emerging locavore movement.
