Grocery stores exert considerable influence over the global food supply and in the

communities we live. How do the largest grocers today maintain their grip on foodmakers,

communities, and eaters? Author Jon Steinman offers a preview of the research that went into his new

book Grocery Story: The Promise of Food Coops in the Age of Grocery Giants

and he recounts his experience as a food systems journalist that would eventually lead him to

write a book about consumer-owned grocery stores (food cooperatives). Jon will share the amazing

work food co-ops are doing in communities across the country.

Refreshments will be served.
