K-State’s Urban Food Systems Initiative and Flagship books are excited to welcome Mark Winne. From 1979 to 2003, Mark Winne was the Executive Director of the Hartford Food System, a Connecticut non-profit food organization and co-founder of numerous food and farms organizations. As a writer on food issues, Mark’s work has appeared in the Washington Post, The Nation, Sierra, Orion, and Yes!, to name a few. He is the author of four books Closing the Food Gap, Food Rebels, Guerrilla Gardeners, and Smart Cookin’ Mamas and Stand Together or Starve Alone, and most recently, Food Town USA. Through his own firm, Mark Winne Associates, Mark speaks, trains, and writes on topics related to community food systems, food policy, and food security. He also serves as Senior Advisor to the Center for a Livable Future at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Join us to hear more about Mark’s work, with a focus on his “Stand Together or Starve Alone” book.

Light refreshments and beverages will be provided.
