SUMMARY:BMP: Talk and Tour - The Food System We Built and the One We Need
DESCRIPTION:Join the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County and McHenry County Department of Planning and Development for Our First BMP Talk and Tour of 2026\nThe Food System We Built – and the One We Need \nFriday\, April 17\, 1-3 pm \nMcHenry-Lake County Soil and Water Conservation District Building \n2222 Dean Street\, Woodstock \nThis Talk and Tour will feature Scott Brix\, one of the original co-founders of the Food Shed Co-\nop\, who will present “The Food System We Built – and the One We Need.” His talk will explore\nhow local food movements and community-owned cooperatives can contribute to creating a\nmore resilient and sustainable food system. \nFrom global supply chains to McHenry County farmland\, this talk will explore how the way we\ngrow and distribute food impacts our environment. Scott Brix brings a unique perspective as\nboth a food industry professional and co-founder of the Food Shed Co-op\, sharing insights into\nsoil health and sustainability—and how local food movements and community-owned co-ops\ncan help move the needle toward a more resilient and sustainable food system. \nScott Brix brings decades of experience in food science\, engineering\, and biotechnology. His\nyears in the corporate food and agriculture sector left him increasingly disillusioned with an\nindustry that often puts profit ahead of people\, the planet\, and real food. Determined to create\nan alternative\, he helped launch the Food Shed Co-op – rooted in local\, sustainable food\nsystems that strengthen small\, non-industrial farmers\, local producers\, and the community.\nAfter the presentation\, a tour of the Food Shed Co-op\, at 2390 Lake Shore Drive\, will highlight\nBMPs in action at the facility. \nThese Popular Talk and Tour programs showcase Best Management Practices successfully\nimplemented in McHenry County. The programs are a collaborative effort with the\nEnvironmental Defenders of McHenry County and the McHenry County Department of Planning\nand Development. \nSign Up
