Sarah Vogel is an attorney, advocate, and author of The Farmer’s Lawyer, a memoir about my landmark class action lawsuit, Coleman v. Block. Vogel brought this historic case when she was a young lawyer and single mother, against the federal government, on behalf of 240,000 family farmers facing foreclosure during the 1980s farm crisis. Vogel spent most of her career as an advocate for family farmers, women, and Native Americans. She also served two terms as North Dakota Commissioner of Agriculture, and was the first woman in U.S. history to be elected to this position in any state. Vogel currently serve as a Member of the Agriculture Subcommittee to USDA Equity Commission and live in Bismarck, North Dakota.
David Montgomery & Anne Biklé, authors of Hidden Half of Nature. Their book reveals why good health—for people and for plants—depends on Earth’s smallest creatures. Restoring life to their barren yard and recovering from a health crisis, David R. Montgomery and Anne Biklé discover astounding parallels between the botanical world and our own bodies. From garden to gut, they show why cultivating beneficial microbiomes holds the key to transforming agriculture and medicine. Be prepared to set aside what you think you know about yourself and microbes!
