Heritage or Hogwash: Is Saving Rare Breeds a Scalable Endeavor?
If so, how can they be scaled?
Changemakers Day
August 29, 2008

What is a “heritage” breed? Is it just another consumer scam? What does it take to put culturally important but rare and endangered breeds of livestock or poultry back on the table? And how can consumers and food advocates support their efforts? This session will give glimpses into the multitude and complexity of challenges faced by breeders of endangered livestock and poultry who are attempting this renaissance, explore the cultural heritage of the US, and discuss strategies for supportive participation.greenstockmedia-roc-209-sta-sdbc-3.jpg
