Rural Vermont on the Air!

Rural Vermont had opportunities this past week to speak about how we can meet more of our food needs locally with audiences of WGDR on Relocalizing Vermont (where we followed Sebastian Hielm - the Food Safety Director in Finland, where they meet 80% of their food needs domestically) and the Capital City Grange as part of its Lecturer series. We stressed the importance of transitioning the conversation from food security to food sovereignty, and the need to determine and actualize the socio-economic and human rights conditions which must be in place to have a just and equitable agriculture, food system, and society for everyone in our region.
