Sustain Winona and the Bluff Country CoopTogether
Present:
JASON CLAY
"Harmonizing Global Commodities, Biodiversity and
Business"
Tuesday,
February 15th
7:00 PM
County Board Room
177 Main Street Winona
2nd floor, Winona Gov't Center
A video event from the 2004 Bioneers National Conference,
combined with a discussion including Winona citizens involved in
sustainable agriculture
Today, a globalized, commodity export-oriented agriculture
threatens the ecosystems which produce our food and fiber. Jason Clay,
vice president for the Center for Conservation Innovation at the World
Wildlife Fund (WWF), has been an innovative and effective leader in
international human rights and environmental work for over 20 year,
and an inventor of the "green marketing" of rainforest products.
Now, he is working with the UN, investors, retailers and producer
groups to reform the immense international agricultural commodity
industries to lessen their ecological impacts.
Citizens are invited to view the 30-minute video. Panelists
Bob Copeland, Jim Riddle, Linda D'Amico, Toby Dogwiler, Michael
Rupprecht and Reese Williams, along with audience members, will
discuss how Clay's ideas and those of Frances Moore Lappe can be
made relevant to the economic and environmental sustainability of the
Winona area.
This program will simultaneously be carried live on HBC
Channel 19
and Charter's Channel 8. It will be rebroadcast on HBC's
Channel 20 from 7:30-9pm on February 22nd; and on Charter's Channel
6 on February 23rd from 7-8:30 pm.
This is the second in a series of video events.
The other topics scheduled include the following:
Sustainability and Health, March 15;
Sustainability and Community, April 19th
All events are at 7:00 PM in the County Board Room
