The Woodstock of food? For those who will be at Slow Food Nation in San Francisco over Labor Day weekend, I will be conducting a panel on Friday in the Changemakers Day series. This high-level, engaging event will focus on money and change: what food business brings to the sustainability table.
On board for the panel are Rick Schneiders, CEO of Sysco Food; Walter Robb, President of Whole Foods Market; Fedele Bauccio, CEO of Bon Appetit Management Co; and Woody Tasch, chairman of Investors Circle. Although not up yet on the Web site, it's being held Friday, August 29, from 1-2:30 p.m. Although this event is reserved for practitioners, there are limited public tickets available too.

This sounds like an excellent program. I met with some Slow Food people in the EU as well as CA and they all tell me that their biggest problem is getting their products on store shelves. It seems once a Slow
Food product is successful they outstrip the local demand and need outside markets. It may seem to be counterintuitive but it is an issue that needs attention
