Co-presented with the PCC FARMLAND TRUST. The consequences of the distance between farm and table, both historically and in the current age of the factory farm, is the subject of historian Ann Vileisis's provocative book, Kitchen Literacy: How We Lost Knowledge of Where Food Comes From and Why We Need to Get It Back (Island). "Persuasively arguing that manufacturers have prevented shoppers from knowing 'unsavory details' about their foods and shielded producers from inquiry and public scrutiny...Vileisis's well-researched treatise will give those interested in local and organic foods, food processing and American culinary culture plenty to chew on." - Publishers Weekly.
