Among the places Bjerga visited while conducting research for his 2011 book (buy his book!), he spent time in East Africa. So, to add visual stimulation to what will already be a stimulating dialogue about agriculture and food security, attendees will enjoy select photographs of Tanzania and Ethiopia, thanks to the talent and generosity of Rugby native Jared Mack.
The Winner-Takes-All Trivia Challenge will mean that one person goes home with two bottles of Ethiopian wine that evening. But everyone will enjoy treats and coffee kindly prepared by volunteers of the Pierce County Farmers Union.There's no doubt about it: when people come together for something good, life is beautiful!

I've been following Alan Bjerga ever since he announced his book at the National Press Club in DC. Endless Appetites helped me to understand the intricate, almost contradictory ways in which market forces impact agriculture worldwide--for good or bad. It provided me with a starting point for developing artificial intelligence applications in the food security area. Congratulations on selecting Alan for Prairie Talks, good choice.
