Award winning sustainable farmer ad

This won an award for this ad where a farmer realizes the error of his ways and returns his farm to sustainable farming, and presumably because of his change of heart, becomes a supplier to Chipotle.
I’m not kidding.
See how far we’ve come?

Darlene Wolnik
Community activist, public market consultant and writer
Working since the 1980s on social change issues while encouraging civic activity across North America. I live in the Gumbo Nation (New Orleans) and raised here some but mostly in Buckeye Nation (Cleveland). I provide support and consulting for localized food systems, especially farmers markets. Bicycling, clean water, pocketbook issues, true wealth generation, reanimating public spaces and direct action democracy are also within my focus. Have blogged for a decade, have published essays and non-fiction since 2001.

Analysis: Research and reports on public market organizational structure and governance or logistics.

Conference or workshop preparation: Building or running educational/networking events for food organizers.

Grants: Assistance with public market project grant-writing including research of subject, draft narrative and final editing.
