Will Allen looks happy with a pitchfork in his hands, turning the soil that’s dark and rich with worm castings. The diffused light in the greenhouse gleams off his face and arms. The air is warm and moist; it feels nourishing in the lungs. You can almost chew it.
Today is Wednesday, Oct. 20. For the past few days, Will has spent a lot of time standing behind a podium at the Midwest Express Center. He and his Growing Power staff have been playing the gracious host to almost 500 people from all over the country attending the eighth annual national Community Food Security Coalition conference, October 16 through 19.
