Exactly one week after an historic presidential election and with the winds of
change lingering in the air, the Rodale Institute and The
Organic Center made history by inviting a star cast of organic
dignitaries and supporters to the Chelsea Art Museum in New
York City to celebrate a paradigm shift in agriculture. The “Ripe for Revolution” message was nothing less than revolutionary: Converting farms to organic production
is the single most-significant step we can take to fight
global warming, prevent famine, improve the health of our
families and create lasting ecological sustainability.
“Both
in terms of turnout for the event as well as continued interest
afterwards, it is clear that the time is truly ripe for a
movement that organic can be a significant solution in solving
the most pressing problems of our time,” said Rodale Institute communications director Paula Hunker.
This
event kicks off a national awareness campaign where the science
showing how organic can solve the problems related to global
warming, human health, ecological sustainability and worldwide
hunger will be made accessible through on- and off-line outreach,
including a micro-site accessed from both Rodale Institute
and The Organic Center’s Web sites. Full story >>
