Daniel Tucker: Changing Our Food System

Seeking to fundamentally change the way the food system works, Daniel Tucker and Amy Franceschini have written Farm Together Now-part-travelogue, part-oral history, part-creative exploration of food politics. Throughout 2009 the authors visited twenty farms from coast to coast, talking to farmers about their engagement in sustainable food production, public policy, and community organizing efforts. Tucker is joined by Seattle artist and urban planner Sarah Kavage (Industrial Harvest), UW urban anthropologist and farmer Devon Pena (profiled in the book), and other food activists from the Seattle area. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series media sponsorship provided by PubliCola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust and the RealNetworks Foundation.
