Hi Everybody,

I hope you all had a nice Fourth of July holiday, and had the opportunity to share it with good friends and family! Many people were given Monday off, which created a nice 4 day weekend, and it felt like a real vacation! Around my house, there were lots of people and lots of food being prepared all weekend, and it was a multi-generational fun-fest!

This week, I am very excited to have as my guest on the Progressive Radio Network, Author and Professor Darryl Benjamin. He is a passionate advocate and educator for sustainable food and cares deeply about social justice, the environment, and nature. His book, Farm to Table: The Essential Guide to Sustainable Food Systems for Students, Professionals, and Consumers (Chelsea Green), which he co-wrote with Chef Lyndon Virkler, was published in October 2016. Benjamin lectures and blogs about sustainable food systems. He also documents the struggle to attain sustainable balance through his photographs. Benjamin holds an MFA in Writing as well as a Certificate of Leadership in Sustainable Food Systems (University of Vermont). He is principal of The GMO Breakthrough Education Project, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming global food systems through education. Benjamin taught writing, marketing, and sustainable food issues at New England Culinary Institute for seven years. He currently teaches in the Online MS in Sustainable Food Systems graduate degree program at Green Mountain College, as well as English at Norwich University. He also lectures and conducts seminars on sustainable food systems, food security, the future of food, and Farm to Table challenges and solutions at conferences and in classrooms. Please join us on Thursday, as Darryl Benjamin helps us connect the dots.
