I’m happy to announce that as of March 1st, I officially became the Co-Founder & Director of The Glynwood Institute for Sustainable Food and Farming. The Institute is part of Glynwood, based in Cold Spring, NY. I’ll still be living and working from New York City, but I also have an office at Glynwood, a 225-acre farm on some of the most gorgeous land in the Hudson Valley. We officially launch toward the end of April – we’re hoping April 20th will be the date – it’ll depend on when the website can launch.
As part of the Institute, we have an Innovation Program, where we’ll be supporting Innovators in the sustainable food and farming field – the first Innovators are Anna Lappe, who’s Diet for a Hot Planet is out now, and myself.
I’ve pasted a one pager below and will make sure to put up the press release for the launch when we get it finalized. And there might even be a Glynwood blog sooner than later, where I can also keep you up to date with what we’re doing. Stay tuned!
