3:00-4:00 | From Roots to Shoots—Sustainable and Locally Grown Food Trends
With the rise of celebrity chefs and restaurants, now the next big trend is food sourcing—selecting sustainable food that is locally grown without chemicals. In order to be called “organic”, food production must comply with standards set by the government. Hollywood loves good food—parties, entertainment, premieres, and restaurants.. What does the trend of sustainable, natural and organic food mean for Hollywood? Will organic food adoption by high profile celebrities and Hollywood executives have an impact on food sales and awareness?
Panelists:
• Sara Snow, Green-living expert and Discovery Channel host
• Paige M. Poulos, APR, President, Paige Poulos Communications, Mendocino Winegrape & Wine Commission
• Cynthia Pasquella, C.N.N., Celebrity Clinical Nutritionist
Moderator: Steven Hoffman, The Organic Center, Managing Director

About the Organic Center
The Organic Center's unique mission to advance verifiable scientific research behind the health and environmental benefits of organic foods, and to communicate those benefits to the public, is built upon a guiding vision. We envision improved health for the earth and its inhabitants through conversion of agriculture to organic methods. Citizens need credible, peer-reviewed evidence on how organic products and systems benefit human health and the environment in order for more people to choose organic products and thus shift. With more information at hand, consumers, civic organizations, government agencies, and the many businesses that make up the organic chain of custody play key roles in the stewardship of our public and planetary health.
