Event Details

The May 11, 2011 What’s Next Lecture Series will bring some of the Central Coast’s most knowledgeable thought leaders together to discuss the seismic changes in the production, distribution and sale of food.  The business of food has transformed from sustenence to include questions of safety, sustainability and lifestyle.  

Panelists will explore ways that science, innovation and collaboration are having an impact and creating opportunities within the economic and social challenges facing those who grow our food. Panelists include Maureen Wilmot, executive director of the Organic Food Research Foundation, Bonny Doon Vinyard founder and biodynamic farming proponent, Randall Grahm, Scott Roseman, founder and owner of New Leaf Community Markets and Salinas Mayor Dennis Donohue who is also president of Royal Rose, one of the largest producers of radicchio in the world. Sandy Skees, CEO of Communications4Good, will moderate the lively discussion and guide a comprehensive conversation with representatives from across the entire food system.  

The conversation will begin at 7 pm in the Kuumbwa Jazz Center located at 320 Cedar Street. What’s Next Lectures is a collaboration between NextSpace Coworking + Innovation, College 8 at UC Santa Cruz, and the City of Santa Cruz.
