Farm Fresh Rhode Island blogRI agriculture lit up in pixels and streams
If you were busy trick-or-treating this Halloween, you missed a roundtable chat about some very scary American agricultural policies. RI Senator and farmer Sue Sosnowski, Robert Swanson of the USDA, Larry Matlack of the American Agricultural Movement and food author Anna Lappé gathered for “Action Speaks” at AS220 in Providence to discuss the state of farming in Rhode Island and across the country. The evening was broadcast on WRNI and is available online as an MP3 stream.
Also not too long ago, a trio traveling the country making short films about sustainability stopped in RI to explore some of our farms. The project is called Your Environmental Road Trip and first on their agenda was chatting with Rich at City Farm in Providence (video). A second episode starts with farm tours on Jamestown with Don at Watson Farm and Joe and Jessie at Dutra Farm, and wraps up in West Kingston with Anj at Paradise Hill Alpacas (video).
