Craig Anderson is the inspirational leader of Santa Rosa's LandPaths. He won Bay Nature’s 2014 Conservation Action Award and I interviewed him for the magazine.
When I asked about his success at achieving diversity among the members of his organization, he said, "Diversity in Sonoma County is not just the Latino–European–Pan Asian
community. It’s also people from a traditional agricultural and ranching
background; it’s vintners; it’s Gen X and Gen Y; it’s families; and
frankly, it’s urbanites who are so busy trying to keep up in this world
that their understanding of local economy and food has not expanded
beyond big-box stores. We’re not happy at LandPaths until we’re able to
reach everybody."
