Dr. John Metz, associate professor of geology in the NKU's Department of History & Geography, studies local and international environments—namely how people interact with both their bio-physical and socio-economic environments. Recently, his interests have led him to take a deeper look at farmers markets in and around our region. In this podcast, Dr. Metz tells us how he came to this research interest, why it matters and how we can (and should) find a local market to acquire some of our own sustenance.
