Join us at CLUCK to meet Ali Berlow and discuss her new book, 'The Food Activist Handbook: Big & Small Things You Can Do to Help Provide Fresh, Healthy Food for Your Community'. The book is a 360-degree culturally appropriate, accessible practical approach on how to create whole fresh food for everyone.

Ali describes dozens of things that anyone can do, from creating a neighborhood kitchen for preserving fresh food to mapping farmland, connecting food pantries with food producers, starting a school garden, and organizing a community composting initiative. Every action can help keep farmers on the land and family farms intact, keep money in the local economy, reduce the carbon footprint associated with food transportation, and preserve local landscapes

Ali is a Madison-area native who is now the editor of Edible Vineyard, a food-oriented magazine on Martha's Vinyard. We will also take some time to talk about her first book, The Mobile Poultry Slaughterhouse, which explores a novel strategy for getting whole, fresh and local poultry meat from producer to consumer.
