Larry Turner, associate Dean for University of Kentucky Extension and Director of Cooperative Extension Service, was among those who perished in the Comair 5191 crash yesterday.
We wish to extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.
Turner worked closely with one of the US Terra Madre delegates as well as with Slow Food and has been active in supporting those ideals we hold dear.
His loss will be deeply felt.

Many Terra Madre delegates and food communities are widely written about and more than a few of them write quite a bit themselves. Back in February, Samuel Muhunyu, the Kenyan leader of the Network for Ecofarming in Africa and leader of the Community of Seedsavers from Molo and Makueni, was profiled along with his organization in the pages of Spore, a newsletter about agricultural development in ACP countries. The article is also available in Français and Portoguês.
On Sunday, California peach and grape grower Mas Masumoto’s moving essay about farming with his father was published in the New York Times Magazine. Masumoto has written a number of books – some award-winning, even – about his farming experiences. You can read more about him here.
