Local Flavor: The Connection Between Taste, Health, Farming and Economic Development By Arlin S. Wasserman Food and Society Policy Fellow, Kellogg Foundation Monday, March 31, 2003 Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture		Arlin S. Wasserman

Wasserman explores new agricultural business models that create value by evoking “taste of place,” from the French concept terroir that taste comes from the earth. His ideas have reached public health, agricultural and culinary professionals, policy makers and the popular press.

Prior to receiving the Kellogg Foundation fellowship, Wasserman directed land use, transportation, agriculture and sustainable economic development programs at the Michigan Land Use Institute. He holds master’s degrees in natural resources and in public health from the University of Michigan, and an undergraduate degree in political economics.

The seminar was sponsored by the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Gamma Sigma Delta at Iowa State University.
