Digest this: The messages and motives behind farm and food controversies

When it comes to food, it’s often hard to know what’s fact, fiction, or exaggeration. Join KBIA and Harvest Public Media for Digest This: a public discussion looking at the messages behind how our food is produced. Experts will examine the arguments -- and emotions -- that go into our food choices, and consider what’s at stake.

Friday, March 16, 4 p.m.

816 E. Broadway, Columbia, MO

Come early! Seats are limited and will fill up quickly.
