Conversations and the exchange of ideas!  This simple preface is helping fuel community projects across southern Wisconsin with the goal of earth stewardship, community, spirituality and economic justice through healthy food and sustainable farming practices.

Roger Williams, professor emeritus from UW-Madison and treasurer of The Food, Faith and Farming Network, representing Harvest of Hope, visits with Pam Jahnke about their latest listening sessions in southeast Wisconsin, and what projects they'll be funding in 2023.

Williams says the series,"Fostering Rural/Urban Connections in Southeastern Wisconsin", was held over a 3-week period fall of 2022.  It involved farmers, crop managers, community gardeners, UW-Extension, Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, and USDA representatives, as well as landscapers, a vocational agriculture teacher, conservation planners, food pantry staff, and observers from Tammy Baldwin's office.

The objective was to bring together community members to address four issues: rural/urban connections, local foods; food security; and sustainable farming.
