Thursday, May 28, 2015, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)
We will continue with food sustainability by looking at Joe Salatin's of Polyface Farms, made famous by Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma, HERE is an excerpt. Salatin has employed the methods of using cattle grazing to enrich the soil and capture carbon. He also uses other animals, chickens, turkeys, rabbits and pigs in a symbiotic "dance" to improve the yield of his farm. Salatin is a colorful speaker of is farming methods and his philosophy of life, HERE is an example. He definitely has a conservative libertarian bent, but he believes that climate change is real.
We will also show the TED Talk that we did not have time for last week, on us eating insects. While we may not be ready to eat insects, insects can be used as animal feed as is being on on Salatin's farm.
