The Co-Op BlogORGANICOLOGY: DAY 2
February 27th, 2009 by Annie
I know you’re lurking…reading and not commenting. That’s okay. This morning we heard from Paul Roberts, author of The End of Oil and his newest book, The End of Food. Well, neither one of his books is very positive so the room was rather glum hearing about the scale of change that needs to occur in our food system in order to reach sustainability. It’s all about how we frame the discussion about this needed change when we talk to consumers who have not yet made the leap to local, healthy and organic food. That framing is something I’ll put my mind to in order to reach more people, so I don’t really have much to say about that now. I will in the future, though.
Next up for me was a workshop about the contamination of organic seed and food. This should be of great concern to you, our owners, shoppers and colleagues. But there is hope, I assure you. More on this later. My lovely lunch is sitting in front of me and I am hungry!
