The Yale School of the Environment is hosting Aubrey Streit Krug and Liz Carlisle, co-editors of the book Living Roots, and panelists and Living Roots contributors Leah Penniman (author and co-founder of Soul Fire Farm) and Piyush Labhsetwar (Farm and Land Stewardship Manager at GrowFood Northampton and former Land Institute researcher) for an evening of storytelling and community to celebrate the new book.
