Fabulous! I would love to see what else is being done in this space to hopefully help expand these technologies into the growing localtarian market in San Diego.

What kind of panel bribes you with food? Oh wait, um.... ya, that works on me. WHEN IS IT? Rachel Ann YES indeed!

This has my completely biased vote (I manage online efforts for the Monterey Bay Aquarium). Thanks for suggesting this panel.

Hazzah is there a lot of good stuff going on in this area! Slow Food Nation is marketing sustainable food on social networks, Eat Well Everywhere is mapping local/sustainable food all over the US & Canada, The Yong Farmers have a wiki...we'll have lots to talk about in this session. I may well rope Stowe Boyd into helping me moderate, as we're having conversations of this sort on www.stoweboyd.com/ground. Wonder what I'll need to bribe him with?

Frankly, if Rachel is bringing snacks to fill our tummies AND bringing facts to fill our minds, there is NO reason to miss this panel.

As a foodie and site owner I am interested in hearing more. :)

Well....if we're going to be talking about that I sure hope our local company that is comparable to spud.com - Greenling.com is invited to the panel.

Great idea for a panel, I´m very much a foodie and think this is a really great way of sourcing great sustainable food sources.
