| Description |
The 3rd annual Muddy Boot Organic Festival will focus on sustainable food and farming and will feature visionary Dr. Wes Jackson. Dr. Jackson established and served as chair of one of the country's first environmental studies programs at California State University-Sacramento and then returned to his native Kansas to found The Land Institute in 1976 (www.landinstitute.org). He is the author of several books including New Roots for Agriculture and Becoming Native to This Place and is widely recognized as a leader in the international movement for a more sustainable agriculture. He was a 1990 Pew Conservation Scholar, in 1992 became a MacArthur Fellow, and in 2000 received the Right Livelihood Award (called the "alternative Nobel prize.")
Opening remarks will be made by Brian Rhoter, CEO of New Seasons Market. |
