Session One

The Blue Economy: Rhode Island's Sustainable Future

As the Ocean State, Rhode Island is uniquely qualified to become a nationally-recognized center of ocean-related innovation and stewardship. How can leveraging the ocean and its resources help bolster the RI economy while creating social impact? This panel, moderated by Globe Rhode Island's Dan McGowan and Brian Amaral will look at the potential of the expanding blue economy and consider recent developments in areas like offshore wind, undersea technology, coastal resiliency projects, and more.

Session Two

Climate Resilience in Rhode Island's Food Ecosystem

A foodie paradise with a rich farming heritage, Rhode Island and the farm-to-table movement are well matched. But as the state embraces locally-sourced ingredients and sustainable agriculture practices, our warming planet with increasingly unpredictable weather and changing growing seasons presents unprecedented challenges. Globe Rhode Island's Alexa Gagosz moderates this panel looking at the future of RI's food ecosystem in light of climate change.

At Little Leaf Farms, we are transforming the way food is grown by delivering the freshest, best tasting baby greens to salad lovers all year round. Our greenhouse is based in Devens, Massachusetts, allowing us to deliver our lettuce to east coast stores within a day of harvest. This is a big difference from the majority of lettuce that is grown on the West Coast, which spends a week traveling by truck to our local stores. In addition, we have carefully developed sustainable growing practices into our greenhouse to protect our planet.
