Relocalizing VT, Thursday: Dethroning Instacart; Cannabis

Past event
Feb 4, 2021, 9 to 10:30 AM

Thursday morning on Goddard College Community Radio: A locally based, cooperatively owned restaurant delivery company has just started in the Hanover area, aimed at taking business from Goliath national companies with deep pockets. And a UVM pharmacology professor on the medical benefits and public safety risks of cannabis—now that we can grow it in our own backyards.

9:00 - 10:00 am
In the Upper Valley region of the Connecticut River, Vital Communities is helping local communities in two states. They're working with local restaurants to reclaim the meal delivery business from national giants that are willing to lose money to gain market share. Director Sarah Jackson and Nancy LaRowe, who coordinates their Food & Farm and Local First programs, are the guests.

In a First Wednesday talk tonight UVM Pharmacology professor Dr. Karen Lounsbury reviews the history of cannabis and the medicinal products derived from it, as well as the benefits, risks, and the therapeutic potential of medical cannabis. We'll have a conversation, with your phone calls, on a similar set of topics.
