 health and well-being are intricately linked to our local farms. Learn from 
 top experts in the field how food, farmers and biodiversity play a role in 
 creating a healthier society.\n\nThis program is part of Eat Local Month in 
 the Bay Area. October is harvest time as well as Eat Local Month in the Bay 
 Area. In one of the most abundant local food economies in the country, we 
 are fortunate to be able to take one month and devote it to the sensations 
 of the season. In celebration of this nationwide movement, The Commonwealth 
 Club is hosting a series of timely programs on the social, economic and 
 environmental benefits of supporting local food producers.\n\nIn addition 
 to inviting people to eat locally grown foods as much as possible during 
 October (visit www.eatlocalsf.org for more details), the planned four-part 
 series at The Commonwealth Club will include three seminars, including how 
 local governments are affected (October 1); how water is challenging our 
 local food supply (October 8), and how advocates for healthier eating are 
 affecting the local-foods equation (October 22). In addition, the Club will 
 sponsor a panel of experts at the Ferry Building (October 15) discussing 
 how farmers and professional chefs are collaborating to build stronger and 
 more sustainable communities; this panel discussion will be accompanied by 
 a tasting of local food and wine.\n\nEat Local Month is brought to you by 
 The Commonwealth Club Bay Gourmet Forum in association with Eat Local SF, 
 Community Alliance for Family Farmers, and Buy Fresh Buy Local.\n
