Isn’t it time to stop growing food like it’s 1999?
The 21st century needs better ways to grow/cook/share/eat. And the world can’t wait–we needed better yesterday. So now’s the time late to start planting seeds for a tastier, healthier and, yes, more equitable food system in the future.
All this week look for my updates from the New York Times’ Food for Tomorrow conference at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture. Top chefs, writers, thinkers and farmers along with experts from industry, government and academia will dig into the complex topic of what to grow and how to grow it. With 10 billion folks projected to show up for dinner by 2060, we need to talk today about feeding our tomorrow.
I’m honored to have a seat at the table. Be there with me here at What the Ducks! or on Twitter @LoriFontanes.

Good luck! What a good initiative. We just drove past the farm on our way back from the Rockefeller State Park (photos following ;).
Thanks! What I will need is sleep, too, because it’s like going to camp for food folks. Long days & lots of schmoozing. A little bit of eating, too. 😉 Will look for your pix!!!
I will be here with you, Lori! This is a subject close to my heart. Glad you have a seat at the table:)
Thanks!!! I’ll bring a good appetite! 😉
