About the producers:
Karen Buchsbaum:
Karen has a lifelong passion for food, farming and education Karen founded Community FARE while completing her Master’s degree in environmental education and working as an agricultural Extension Agent with University of Maryland Extension
She is currently a PhD candidate at Antioch University New England, where she is using agent-based modeling to study agricultural adaptation response to climate change.
After years of researching, teaching and advocacy, Karen grew tired of being inundated with disempowering and hopeless messages about our broken food system, and the future of the planet. She set out to find a real reason for hope, and that’s how the idea of Harvests of Hope was born.
