Read about Grey to Green on realneo:
It’s no great secret that local foods and local economy represent one of the great opportunities for our city and region. Exciting work is developing at a rapid pace in this domain, not just in Cleveland but throughout our entire region. A great example of educating, advocating, and advancing collaborative ways of driving grassroots economic development was made transparent to hundreds who gathered at last month’s Grey to Green festival in Youngstown. I was honored to participate and meet a living legend, MacArthur award recipient and urban foods pioneer Will Allen, there. For decades Will has worked to lead Growing Power in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a champion of social entrepreneurship and social justice.
