Presented in collaboration with Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT)

Bill McKibben, author, educator, and environmentalist will be joined by National Park Service leaders and well-known sustainable food experts from the Bay Area for a discussion about climate change and the global and national value of local food systems. In his new book Eaarth, Bill makes strong connections between building resilient communities, reducing greenhouse gases, and preserving and supporting local farms. The Food for the Parks Initiative of the Institute at the Golden Gate will provide support and expertise to accelerate the adoption and implementation of sustainable food system policies throughout the National Park Service. Books will be for sale at the event by Point Reyes Books.
