In this event, we’ll explore the Wisconsin Science Festival theme of agriculture by examining the impact of telling the story of our local food producers on our food systems.

We’re told that sharing stories helps connect us, but is there any science behind that? In fact, there is! In honor of the Wisconsin Science Festival and its focus on agriculture this year, we’ll introduce you to Jules Reynolds. Jules’ 2024 dissertation is the result of a 4-year collaboration with local producers and Brix Cider, known as the Brix Project, exploring how telling the stories of local food producers impacts food systems….. Several Savor the River Valley members participated in the project. They’ll join us, too, to share their thoughts and stories.
