Appalachian chef, farmer, seed saver and storyteller Mike Costello is the next speaker for Seedy Talks, a speaker series of the Morgantown Seed Preservation Library, Feb. 3 at 5 p.m. in 325 Brooks Hall.
In this third installment of Seedy Talks, Costello will take a critical look at the actions of chemical companies in West Virginia and reflect on his personal decision to decline his participation in the Crops in Color campaign, a decision defined by his relationships with his community and the land around him, as well as the region’s culture, food, economy and, of course, the seeds he loves and is committed to preserving.
Seedy Talks is sponsored by the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Geology and Geography, C. Eugene Bennett Department of Chemistry and Department of Sociology and Anthropology. The speaker series is organized by Mehmet Öztan, service assistant professor of geology and geography.
