Best...conference breakout...ever!
Yesterday was the U's first Public Engagement Day. Between teaching and other commitments, I had only time for one breakout section, but it was a good one, on local food. Participants talked in part about various ways that the U has helped support local and sustainable agriculture, partnering with farmers to build the economic and distribution infrastructure needed.
The best part? Every chair in the room had a plate of goodies. Locally made parmesan and soft cheeses. A crunchy whole wheat bread. Butter. Grapes. Granola. Why can't every conference be this tasty???
