The heritage wheat wizard is adapting grain varieties to present-day climate conditions, developing a local market, and working to diversify the food system.
For some reason, the title and the introduction make it sound like Don's work is something new. He has actually been popping up in a number of sources that both Ashley and I have been coming across separately. His work is inspiring. If you do a quick Google on him, he pops up in an article in the the New York Times back in 2010 as well as other articles which cover him working within various parts of the Grain Chain. Another good read about an inspiring thought leader and do-er.
