Inspiring Vision for a New World: Rural Economies as Sustainable Pioneers
Nathan will visit: Argentina, India, Austria, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina
"The global community is inextricably linked, both in problems and brave new solutions. We are increasingly more vulnerable to a non-local food network that is poisonous both to ourselves and our environment. Addiction to fossil-based energy is ravaging our landscape while causing irreversible harm to the climate. As a Watson Fellow, I will immerse myself in localized solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. I will enrich my global understanding while gaining a new take on the ills that plague my native coalfield, Appalachia." - Nathan Hall, 2009
