You guys do great work, and I love perusing all the different Good Food Job listings posted on your site. In fact, the evidence you present weekly that the good food economy is growing and thriving all over the country was a not-small factor in my decision to change careers and pursue a life in farming. So, thank you.

LAST WEEK'S QUESTION
What it the best advice you can give to New Amsterdam Market to help spread their mission / message to #SaveOurSeaport?

CARLY'S WINNING ANSWER
At a time when there is so much access to other people through technology, I find that the most significant way to make an impact on the individuals you want to rally to your cause is made in person. Finding people who will speak at public and private events, small and large, is key. Seeing someone’s passion can be contagious. Read more . . .

QUESTION
If you could be compensated for your work with something other than money, what would it be?*

Answer on our Facebook page for a chance to attend the Just Food Conference for free.

* This week's question was inspired by one of the Just Food Conference sessions we are most looking forward to: LIVING A WEALTHY LIFE: STRATEGIC STEPS TO A FOOD CAREER THAT MATTERS TO YOU, given by Barbara Lang, our former professor and eternal mentor. Catch her at 2 PM on Saturday, March 30th.

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed with passion yet unsure how to channel it? Do you ponder the enormous scale of the problems with our current food system and find yourself feeling daunted? Did you know there was an organization called Food Sol that ‘supports eater-entrepreneurs to uncover and articulate what they care most about influencing in food—and then determine the “bite-sized” action they can take now to begin’? Thanks to Rachel, Food Sol does indeed exist, and we’re pretty excited about it. Read More
