The Dish: Farming in the Time of Climate Change

City Market and the Intervale Center have teamed up to create an exploratory series called The Dish. With support from ArtsRiot, we host quarterly panel discussions that dive into hot food issues with the help of local experts.

This Dish is presented in partnership with Seven Days as part of Vermont Restaurant Week.

The Dish:
Farming in the Time of Climate Change

Wednesday, April 27, 2016
5:30pm – 7:00pm
ArtsRiot, 400 Pine St

Doors open at 5:00pm. Cash bar.

Vermont's weather is evolving in wild, unpredictable ways. Long-term meteorological trends show the state becoming warmer and wetter. How will farmers adapt to the environmental upheaval and keep food growing through fast-shifting weather patterns? How will these changes ripple through the distribution chain — and how will they affect what Vermonters eat in restaurants, institutions and at family tables?

Join a panel of local experts for a lively discussion on the challenges and rewards of growing food in a changing climate — now and into the future.

Brought to you by City Market and the Intervale Center with special thanks to ArtsRiot.

FREE! $5 suggested donation to benefit Vermont Foodbank.
