Kelly Harding’s personal journey from large-scale factory farming to local, organic, grass-based farming is a reflection of a much larger trend in 21^st century America.

In recent years there has been a shift in the way Americans source, raise and consume their food. Many have moved away from processed, generic, and industrialized foods to foods produced on a small, local scale with much care given to the animals, the land and the environment. Kelly’s story offers a unique angle to this ground-breaking movement.

Princeton's Whole Earth Center played host to a group of marchers campaigning for mandatory labelling of genetically-modified foods.

Dubbed the "GMO Right2Know March", this trek began in Brooklyn on Saturday, and aims to reach a World Food Day rally in Washington D.C. on Oct. 16.  Along the way, marchers plan to stage rallies and meetups to raise awareness of their cause.
