The Josey Institute for Agroecology at North Central Texas College in Gainesville is hosting a community dialogue about climate change on Sept. 17.
“People are naturally attuned to short-term thoughts and actions, while global climate conditions require long-term strategies,” said Dr. Lisa Bellows, director of the Josey Institute. “Education from a local to global perspective is imperative to ensuring sustainability.”
The institute was created through a grant from the Dixon Water Foundation last year.
Special guest Pat Hoerth, an advocate for sustainable agriculture and a published author, will join the community in this conversation. Hoerth is the director of Turtle Rock Farm, a farm in Red Rock, Okla., dedicated to modeling sustainable practices in living and farming.
