In the wake of the 2016 election, four renowned food leaders will come together on Friday, Nov. 18 to discuss how farming, social justice and the culinary arts can be powerful tools for economic and cultural development locally, nationally and internationally.

"Three Perspectives on Food: A Conversation Between Will Allen, Ron Finley and Alice Waters," will be held in the auditorium at the Kohl's Corporation Headquarters, W165N5830 Ridgewood Dr. from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

During the event,  Growing Power founder Will Allen, L.A.-based urban gardener Ron Finley and chef and food activist Alice Waters will share the stage in a conversation moderated by Stephen Ritz, CEO of Green Bronx Machine, to talk about the state of the "Good Food Revolution."

The event is part of Growing Power’s Urban and Small Farms Conference, which takes place Nov. 18-20.

The conference, which will be held at the Growing Power Warehouse at 13111 W.
