• Our Daily Bread – The Capstone Column

    The Capstone Project is a five credit independent project that synthesizes and applies knowledge from across the curriculum in a practical, real-world setting.

    "Our Daily Bread" is a project that explores one sector of Vermont's food system in detail, working from the regional-scale food system level to the detailed level of business models.

    This content in this column will track the progress of the project from now through completion in March 2010.

Zack’s Sustainability Blog

So, my friend Zack is in the Antioch program. We tried to get him to come down to Brattleboro, join us in the Marlboro MBA, but, well …

He has a really nice blog going, called Good Stuff. Worth a read, very nice visuals, good, practical information and a positive attitude. That’s Zack.

Have a look.

Capstone Presentation Date Set

The formal presentation of my capstone research will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 27, March. I will give a half-hour talk on the project and the results of the research.

Please come by the Marlboro College Graduate Center in Brattleboro if you are interested in learning a bit about alternative economics, sustainable food system models, and how this might be applied locally in terms of fostering grain production in Vermont.

The talk starts at 1:10 – please be prompt. It would be great if you would let us know you are coming so we can be sure to have plenty of copies of the research. You can RSVP & get directions via the contact info listed elsewhere on this blog.

Hope to see you there,

Will
