Baton Rouge Sierra Club General Meeting
"Ultimately, I believe that slowness is an act of resistance, not because slowness is a good in itself but because of all that it makes room for, the things that don't get measured and can't be bought." - Rebecca Solnit
Bryan Alexander visits the Sierra Club's Baton Rouge Group on Thursday, June 26th to give a presentation on Slow
Food USA’s mission to create dramatic and lasting change in the food
system. Through its Baton Rouge chapter, Slow Food USA seeks to reconnect
Americans with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils
and waters that produce our food. It also works to inspire a
transformation in food policy, production practices and market forces so
that those ensure equity, sustainability and pleasure in the food we
eat. Bryan will put forth S.F.B.R.'s pursuit of these goals
through educational outreach and in the local schools and in the wider
community. Some of their projects include Greauxing Healthy Baton Rouge
model Farm To School program, The Crop Circle Learning Farm, Cooking
Matters for Families is a national nutrition and cooking skills
curriculum, and the Urban Agriculture Workshop Series held at the Burden
Center.
