 FOR THE FUTURE PRESENTS FREE EVENT ON RELOCALIZING FOOD: BEYOND THE 3000 MILE CAESAR SALAD
Lecture/Discussion by Richard B. Anderson, Linda Buzzell-Saltzman, Larry Buzzell-Saltzman
Tuesday, February 8, 7:00-9:00 pm
Townley Room, Santa Barbara Public Library
Relocalizing Food: Beyond the 3000-Mile Caesar Salad is the topic of a free discussion on Tuesday, February 8 from 7pm to 9pm in the Townley Room at the downtown Santa Barbara Public Library. The event will be presented by the Sustainable Small Cities project of For the Future, a Santa Barbara think tank, and the Santa Barbara Organic Garden Club.
Speakers will include Richard Bruce Anderson, Ph.D., Senior Fellow of For the Future, and Linda and Larry Buzzell-Saltzman, co-founders of the Santa Barbara Organic Garden Club who are also Fellows at For the Future.
At this presentation, leaders from the local food community will discuss whether or not Santa Barbara is adequately prepared to feed itself without undue reliance on distant food sources – the famous 3000-mile Caesar salad – in the face of looming crises like the end of cheap fossil fuel supplies, climate instability, mudslides, earthquakes or 9/11 events that could make air travel, trucking and the continued use of petroleum-based pesticides and herbicides prohibitive.
