Building a healthy Economy from the Bottom Up

 

Did you know that transformative change is happening across America, one community at a time, even though we don t hear much about it in the media? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Anthony Flaccavento, organic farmer, founder of Appalachian Sustainable Development, national thought-leader on sustainability, and author of Building a Healthy Economy from the Bottom Up: Harnessing Real-World Experience for Transformative Change. Flaccavento describes a road map for achieving ecologically healthy economies through community examples, nationwide. Flaccavento gives us reason to trade feelings of despair with hope for a bright future -- one that is based on cooperation, networking, and supportive public policies.
Flaccavento is previously the author of Healthy Food Systems: A Toolkit for Building Value Chains. He is also the president of SCALE, Inc. http://www.ruralscale.com/about, a private consulting company that supports ecologically healthy economies.
