Author and professor Philip Ackerman-Leist tells the (pre)cautionary tale
of how the Italian town of Mals set a global precedent by passing the
worldâs first municipal referendum and ordinances to ban all synthetic
pesticides. At the same time the region will support the transition of all
farmers to organic systems and support new local sustainable business
ventures. *A Precautionary Tale: How One Small Town Banned Pesticides,
Preserved Its Food Heritage, and Inspired a Movement*
<http://www.chelseagreen.com/a-precautionary-tale> shows how towns and
regions can reclaim and protect their communities, health, and economy â by
supporting a transition to diversified, small-scale organic systems and
small-scale local businesses. Featuring multimedia artist Douglas Gayetonâs
âinformation artworks,â Ackerman-Leistâs presentation is accompanied by a
pop up art show.
*All three events are Free & open to the public.*
