World Watch Magazine Online Discussion: The Virtues of Local Food Friday, May 16, 2003. 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT (1800 - 1900 GMT)
Local communities are increasingly resisting the multinational food conglomerates that control and shape global food production and distribution, reports Brian Halweil in the May/June 2003 issue of the bi-monthly magazine World Watch. From the owner of a diner in Vermont to the Nine Seeds Movement in India, local activists are taking matters into their own hands by guiding food systems back to their local roots and bringing democracy into everyday food decisions. Join Brian Halweil to discuss how localizing food systems could help local economies and the environment and how you can contribute by taking back control of your own food choices. Questions for this chat may be submitted starting on May 15, 2003, at 2:00 PM EDT (1800 GMT).
