What is a California-vore? An Urban Farming Panel Discussion in San Francisco

by Jocelyn Berger

On Sunday, June 20th, 40 people gathered at Hayes Valley Farm in San Francisco for What is a California-vore? - a panel discussion about urban farming. Co-sponsored by Pursue and organized by AJWS alum and Congregation Emanu-El Young Adult Community Social Justice Chair Spencer Rosen, we sat in the sun on bales of hay and heard from Jonathan Silverman of Feel the Earth Foundation, Lauren Anderson at Produce to the People, Jay Rosenberg of Hayes Valley Farm, and moderator Rebecca Ets-Hokin, a local culinary professional. Rabbi Sydney Mintz of Emanu-El welcomed us and framed the event in terms of the Jewish value of shomrei adamah, the commandment to guard and steward the land.
