It’s summertime in Iowa. Local growers are hard at work, the stalls at the Farmers Market are hopping, and the question on many minds is "what will ripen next?" It’s a near embarrassment of riches: bunches of garlic scapes, baskets of tomatoes, ears of sweet corn by the dozen!

There are many reasons to be excited about local food, including those from a climate action and resource management perspective. Join Recycling Coordinator Jane Wilch and Climate Action Coordinator Sarah Gardner for a lively discussion of local food resources, opportunities, and challenges.

As with previous “Speaking of” discussions, this will be a casual conversation without slides or charts. It’s a chance to talk through some mouthwatering questions and learn some useful information along the way.

• What: “Speaking of…Local Food” Online Discussion
• When: Noon, Tuesday, June 21, 2022
• Register on Zoom to take part.
