In June, Steve Campbell, grass-fed cattle rancher and farmer consultant from Idaho, will discuss the concept of clean soil vs. dirty minerals from chemical fertilizers at InFARMation.
The concept of “clean” food has become an issue that eaters are thinking and talking about, due in part to recent food safety scares. It makes sense that what goes into the soil is what comes out into our food. Learn what you may not know about carbon sequestration on farmland and industrial waste products in our food system.
Tuesday, June 9, 5:30 pm
Roots Organic Brewery’s Event Space
1530 SE 7th Ave., Portland
Hosted by Friends of Family Farmers
The second Tuesday of each month presents an opportunity to bring the issues that Oregon family farmers face onto the radar of urban consumers. The topic changes each month, but always focuses on the larger picture of the connection between food and farms in our state. When eaters connect with farmers, it makes our food web stronger, and real changes in our local food system are possible.
