Recommendations from Mark Bittman: Farewell Column in the NYT

A final and typically useful report by Mark Bittman signals the end of his column in the New York Times, a platform from which he has succinctly highlighted food justice questions, supported the growth of sustainable and organic production, and defended farmworkers, farmers, and consumers in the face of an often unfair and damaging mainstream food system. Here is Bittman’s final set of recommended publications and videos: http://bittman.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/09/12/a-look-back-and-a-nod-to-others/?ref=topics. 

Also just released at the New York Times is Bittman's video report on the nations largest university campus organic gardening project in Santa Cruz, an inspiring model for expanding our farmer and organic production resources: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/15/opinion/mark-bittman-the-roots-of-organic-farming.html?ref=opinion.
