About Our Next Show: Sunday February 12, 2012
Guest: Tanya Denckla Cobb
Topics: The grassroots food movement, organic gardeneing, organic pest remedies and more.
About Our Guest: Raised in upstate New York (Binghamton area), Tanya first tried to grow vegetables in high school behind a tall hedge and learned the hard lesson that a huge carrot top doesn't mean a huge carrot lies beneath the soil. She went on to study government at Smith College, where she wrote for the college paper and other publications. She is now a writer, professional environmental mediator and teacher of food system planning at the University of Virginia. She is passionate about bringing people together to discover common ground and create solutions for mutual gain. She has worked at the grassroots, co-founding a community forestry nonprofit and mediating for community mediation centers. At the state level, she facilitated the birth of both the Virginia Natural Resources Leadership Institute and also the Virginia Food System Council. This December she facilitated the 2nd Virginia Food Security Summit that launched Virginia's first statewide strategic food plan. She teaches food system planning to graduate planning students, and has also initiated the Virginia Food Heritage Project. At home, she enjoys the restorative energy of gardening, trying out new vegetable cultivars, experimenting with different organic remedies for pests, cooking from her garden and baking bread. She lives in Virginia and is the author of The Gardener's A to Z Guide to Growing Organic Food and the newly released Reclaiming Our Food: How the Grassroots Food Movement is Changing What We Eat.
