Friends
Of Northwood Libraries To Host Program
The Friends of the
Northwood Libraries will host a free program on July 14, 2009,
at 7 p.m.
The Wisdom of Small Farms and Local Food: Aldo
Leopold’s Land Ethic and Sustainable Agriculture.
This
event will take place at the Chesley Memorial Library in Northwood,
NH, and will feature John Carroll of the University of New Hampshire
Department of Natural Resources.
John E. Carroll is professor of
Environmental Conservation in the Department of Natural
Resources at the University of New Hampshire. In three decades at
UNH, he has taught and done research on national and international
environmental policy, diplomacy, ethics, and values as they pertain
to sustainable agriculture and food systems.
“It is not meant for
all of us to farm. But it is meant for all of us to eat. And we all
have a right to nutritious food to keep us ‘healthy, wealthy and
wise.’ To the greatest extent possible, this means local food.” —
John E. Carroll
Using his book “The Wisdom of Small Farms and
Local Food: Aldo Leopold’s Land Ethic and Sustainable Agriculture”,
Professor Carroll explores with the audience the theoretical and
practical underpinnings of the growing movement toward sustainable
agriculture. Focusing on the land grant universities, particularly
in New England and in Leopold’s own Midwest, their work in
sustainable agriculture and their increasing attention to
small-scale farming and local food, this book, provides a vision of
where our public land grant universities might go, in research, in
teaching, in outreach, inspired by the farmers who know best from
their own experience, and providing vision and hope for many who
want to play a role in increasing their own food security. The book
is available through the author who can be reached at
[email protected].
This program was made possible by the University
of New Hampshire Speakers Bureau which connects faculty and staff
speakers with non-profit organizations to share the research and
knowledge of the university with the people and communities of New
Hampshire. For more information on obtaining a speaker for your
organization, contact the UNH Speakers Bureau at (603)862-4401 or on
