Wenonah Hauter, Executive Director of Food and Water Watch and  
renowned food and anti-fracking activist is to speak in Ithaca, NY,  
for the first time. Ms Hauter will speak and sign books on 24th  
September 2013 at Cornell, first at 3pm in the Statler Auditorium,  
Cornell University and later Downtown at the First Baptist Church of  
Ithaca at 7pm (Dewitt Park).  The appearances will promote her book:  
Foodopoly: The Battle Over the Future of Food and Farming in America  
which examines corporate consolidation and control over our food  
system and what it means for farmers and eaters. Bufffalo Street Books  
will be selling books at both events.

Both Events are FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Wenonah Hauter is a renowned speaker, activist and organizer who has  
worked extensively on food, water, energy and environmental issues at  
the national, state and local levels. Food and Water Watch is a non- 
profit consumer rights group that focuses on government and corporate  
accountability. It is prominent in opposing irradiation, fracking,  
aquaculture, and GMOs, and supports organic, sustainable and small  
scale agriculture and access to safe water.

Sponsoring her visit to Ithaca will be Independent Science News, an  
Ithaca-based public interest website that specializes in reporting on  
food, agriculture, and health. Independent Science News is a news  
source developed by the Bioscience Resource Project, also of Ithaca.

“We are at a moment in history when it is becoming understood once  
again that agriculture and the food supply system are central to  
social welfare in its broadest sense. How we manage the food supply  
will largely determine whether our society becomes sustainable, our  
institutions democratic, the people healthy, the economy viable, and  
the climate stable. We invited Wenonah Hauter here because she, like  
Ithaca, has a strong tradition of independent thought and action. Both  
attributes are much needed here and now,” says Jonathan Latham,  
Executive Director of the Bioscience Resource Project.
