Moderated by DWT partner Jim Greenfield, the third installment of DWT and Forterra's Creating a Great Global Region series was an interesting and engaging evening focused on how social equity, community building and conversation of farmland intersect around food. The event consisted of a panel discussion of prominent members of the local agriculture and hospitality industries, followed by a group workshop, and ended with a networking reception.
