Description
The Human Needs and Global Resources (HNGR) program at Wheaton College presents the annual HNGR Symposium. Titled "From the Ground Up: Social Movements and Soil Improvement," this year's symposium focuses on the factors that start, spread, stifle, and transform initiatives to conserve and improve soils. The keynote speakers are Craig Sorley, an environmental missionary from Kenya who was named among TIME magazine's 2008 Heroes of the Environment; Sarah-Lan Mathez-Stiefel, Executive Director of A Rocha Peru; and Norman Uphoff, professor of government from Cornell University. Additional speakers include representatives of HNGR partner programs from Latin America and a panel of growers including the Chicago urban farmers who grow food for Wheaton College's own cafeteria.
