Raj Patel, academic, activist and author of Stuffed and Starved – Markets, Power and the Hidden Battle for the World Food System, and the New York Times best seller The Value of Nothing, will speak at Skagit Valley College’s Mount Vernon campus on January 28 about the World Food System and what is being done in many parts of the world to address the inefficiencies and injustices inherent in that system, with a focus on more sustainable ways of feeding ourselves and the rest of the world.
