"Feed Us with Trees" Author Talk

A conversation with Elspeth Hay, author of Feed Us with Trees, a hopeful manifesto about a brighter, more abundant future—and a critical look at the long-held stories we'll need to rewrite to build it. Speaking to environmentalists, regenerative farmers, permaculture enthusiasts, agroforesters, locavores, and anyone hungry for a more holistic diet, Elspeth tells a new and ancient story about perennial nut trees, our ecological role as humans, and the future of food!

This author appearance is in parallel to the Organic Growers School's Spring Conference and will be the culmination of a reading club hosted by Firestorm on February 28th.

Elspeth Hay is the creator and host of the Local Food Report, a weekly feature that has aired on the Cape and Islands National Public Radio station since 2008, and the author of the award-winning book Feed Us with Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food. Deeply immersed in her own local-food system, Elspeth's work focuses on the people, places, and ideas that feed us. You can learn more at elspethhay.com.
