featuring MaryEllen Pitts
Food, nature and people have always been MaryEllen’s passions, and her sustainable food systems work seeks the flourishing of all three. Co-founding a community garden over ten years ago opened her to synergies in natural systems and ways humans could cooperate with them. She recently started a small urban farm in Indianapolis with her husband that provides endless opportunities to support an ecological system where organisms collaborate. MaryEllen believes that humans can join that elegant dance to create a just, thriving food system.
The students and faculty of the Prescott College Sustainable Food Systems graduate program bring this podcast to you because we believe in ideas, we believe in knowledge that inspires, and we believe that change is possible!
