You’ll hear from the following real food advocates:

Joel Salatin, America’s favorite farmer and real food spokesperson, talks about his recent Farm Foundation brainstorming meeting at Monticello concerning the future of agriculture and how America will feed 9 billion people in 2050.
Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions, mentions that FTCLDF has become a model for other countries and answers the question, “Why is grass-based farming important?”
Laura Bledsoe talks about how FTCLDF changed her life for the better when her farm-to-fork dinner was halted mid-preparation in October 2011 by the local health district.
Robb Wolf, best-selling author of The Paleo Solution, talks about his commitment to real food and farms, his brand new membership to FTCLDF, and why it’s so important.
