There are local responses and events relating to the global food crisis. Heather Flores spoke at Traditions Fair Trade Cafe about her ideas on food, gardening and community on May 6th. She also sold her book Food Not Lawns which is a well-written manifesto on a holistic approach to living your politics and growing your own potatoes. Terra Commons is the local 501(c)3 entity that sponsored Heather's talk and also sponsored a slideshow by David Sansone of Perennial Harvest on May 22nd. Terra Commons has also sponsored workshops by TESC graduate Marisha Auerbach on converting your lawn to an environment that can feed your soul and put food on your table.
