SUMMARY:The Resilient Garden: Food Security in the Age of a Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:We hope you’ll join Transition Houston as we explore the resilient garden and how to enhance food security in the age of this pandemic.\nThis will be Transition Houston’s first meeting by video conference using Zoom on August 4th @ 6pm!   \nIn order to join our meeting\, simply click this link in your web browser.

We depend on imports from around the world\, high carbon transportation systems to get our food to our grocery store\, high labor requirements for picking\, processing etc. And factory farms have put many small farmers out of business. \nIn the late 90’s there was a local food movement growing on the two coasts and it made its way here to the Gulf Coast. There were local advocates and leaders who led this movement forward and created a local food movement. Now local farms grow more food every year responding to restaurant chefs\, farmers’ markets\, local CSA’a and local grocery stores sell more local produce. \nAs the pandemic strips away our veneer of abundant\, cheap and convenient food\, we see that buying local and supporting local is the only answer in times of this economic and health panic. Shopping at the farmers’ markets and growing one’s own food is increasingly popular. \nAbout Our Speakers\nKevin Topek\, Permaculture Garden DesignerOwner of a sustainable landscaping and planning company\, Kevin has practiced Permaculture design for over 30 year and is a native of Houston.
