Oregon boasts a multibillion-dollar agricultural economy that includes both industrial agriculture and small-scale efforts such as community supported agriculture memberships, farmers markets, and community gardens. These smaller, community-based efforts are on the rise as means to nurture community and create local and autonomous food systems. Discuss how choices and “voting with your dollars” shapes our agricultural systems with Kristy Athens, author of "Get Your Pitchfork On! The Real Dirt on Country Living."

This program part of the Oregon Humanities’ statewide Conversation Project, free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future.
