International Leader in Sustainable Ag to Speak at Chicago Summit
Cornucopia’s Take: Fred Kirschenmann, interviewed in the article below, is the scheduled keynote speaker at the Chicago Food Tank Summit this November. He converted his family’s farm to organics in 1976, and still manages it today. Kirschenmann is a Distinguished Fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, and his work profoundly has long influenced sustainability and organics as we know them.
