Author Woody Tasch is at the forefront of efforts to move away from the old models of industrial finance and industrial agriculture and reflect the new economic, social and environmental realities of the 21st century. In his book "Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing as if Food, Farms, and Fertility Mattered,"
he articulates a new vision of capital markets grounded in restoration rather than consumption, and preservation rather than extraction — a new era of fiduciary responsibility that meets the demands of our times and the possibilities of our future. Find out more at his free lecture this month!Details: Woody Tasch on "Slow Money." Mar. 16, 7 pm; free with RSVP. Ecotrust’s Natural Capital Center, 721 NW 9th Ave. 503-227-6225.
