| | Join us for the launch of Free Soil, an annual journal with a focus
on systems related to farming; land use, environmental justice, globalization, economy, and water. Practitioners from many fields are invited to contribute–providing a diverse perspective to be cast upon the pages of each journal. The journal is an offshoot of a blog that was created in 2005 by a group of geographically dispersed artists, activists and gardeners with a common interest in the social and political organization of space–who makes the decisions about
these spaces and who is affected by those decisions.
The first issue FARMING 2050 will be the focus of the evening.
In a one-day experiment, eleven artists, farmers, writers, policy makers, architects and philosophers were invited to imagine
farming in 2050. What will it look like and how will we get there?
What materialized was a range of apprehensions, evaluations and revelatory combinations of fact and fiction that offer a diverse look
on the future of farming. This hyper-local portrait of critical, San Francisco voices reflects a sense of optimism intertwined with serious demands to re-evaluate the current logic that dominates
our food system.
Our discussion will be moderated by Free Soil editor Amy Franceschini in conversation with several of the journal’s
contributors including Brooke Budner, Ignacio Valero, Michael Swaine, Chris Carlsson, Marina McDougall and Blair Randall.
