As it fell to our mothers, so it falls to us today, to perpetuate life
by changing the world. Whether glamorously or invisibly, the women you
will encounter during this series pour their life's energy into
transforming our world into a more human and hospitable place. Speakers
in our series have chosen to deploy their intelligence, their passion
and stubborn hopefulness on behalf of Sustainable Agriculture – a vital
part of our social anatomy. Whatever your chosen field, these food and
farming heroes-journalists, scientists, activists, authors, counselors,
farmers can help us plot a courageous trajectory in our own
professional lives.
