Will Allen to Visit Columbus, Ohio - To Be Determined
Growing Power founder will offer hands-on workshops, keynote address at ROTC (Regional Outreach Training Center) the Stiletto Gardener Inc.
COLUMBUS, OH — Celebrated urban food garden pioneer Will Allen, chosen as one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2010, will share his urban agriculture expertise with Columbus during two public workshops and a keynote speech.
Allen is a national advocate for sustainable, localized food systems. He founded Growing Power, a Milwaukee urban farm and training center, to encourage low-income, urban residents who often don’t have access to fresh food to grow their own, in gardens built from inexpensive materials. Allen gained national acclaim in 2008, when he was awarded a prestigious “genius” grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Allen is also a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, founded by former President Bill Clinton to address the world’s most pressing problems, including sustainability and health.
“If people can grow safe, healthy, affordable food, if they have access to land and clean water, this is transformative on every level in a community,” Allen said. “I believe we cannot have healthy communities without a healthy food system.”
