Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - Transition US is preparing a new handbook for local emergency preparedness, and a European food researcher tells us how the groundwork is being laid for more food based on insects.

9:00 - 10:00 am
With floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and/or volcanoes in the news almost daily, the time is ripe for Ready Together an emergency preparedness handbook aimed at building resilient communities. Nils Palsson of Transition US will talk about their approach—and we'll see what lessons the authors took from Vermont's response to tropical storm Irene.

What is the correct answer to "Waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup?" A) "Looks like the backstroke" B) "That's the soup du jour" or C) "Tomorrow's special is meal worms" ? Karin Wendin is a Swedish professor in food and meal science, and she says most cultures around the world accept eating insects. She's working on making Europeans more open to six-legged livestock. This will be a prelude to a discussion next week with a Vermont-based cricket farmer.
