I'm new to "professional," journalistic blogging, so it might take me a post or two to get the hang of things. I am dedicated to providing you, my audience, with the newest and most relevant facts and stories about sustainable agriculture, the local food movement, and how each and every human on planet Earth is affected by food justice.
As for me, my name is Alanna. I am a college student in Vermont, USA. Stay tuned for news, book reviews, and some really cool websites.
