"What's for Dinner: Sustainable Agriculture vs. Affordable Food" Feb. 5 Forum at Dexter District Library A diverse panel of experts will discuss the dilemma of every U.S. consumer these days: how to shop for healthy food that supports a sustainable environment without breaking the family budget. Sponsored by the League of Women Voters of the Ann Arbor Area (LWV-AAA), this free, public event will spotlight the issues behind current headlines. This event takes place on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 7 p.m., at the Dexter District Library. The library is located at 3255 Alpine St., just north of Main Street in downtown Dexter. A well-lit parking lot is adjacent to the building. The moderated panel discussion will feature Amanda Edmonds, founder and executive director of the Ypsilanti-based non-profit Growing Hope; Kali Fox, mid-Michigan regional manager for U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenaw; Dr. Elisa Picken who, with her husband, owns a farm in Dundee; and Mike Schaible, a Lodi Township farmer. The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
