What if American investors put more of their money into a
local, agriculture based food system? Or
invested money within 50 miles of their homes? We learn more about a movement called Slow
Money. Our guest is Woody Tasch, who
heads a nonprofit aimed at directing investments to local, sustainable food

Also, the Green Mountain Club has published a new guidebook
