About the founder: Frank Melli media activist and strategist."Frank Spent most of the last three decades working for New York-based broadcast operations, but now he is focusing his lens on Virginia's communities and rural scene. Meet The Farmer TV,(now in 121st episode), which Melli founded with farmer Michael Clark, showcases the stories of local growers and other food producers, chefs, organizations and the markets they serve. In the 90's Melli pioneered a series of interactive town hall meetings involving viewers in debates. Participants Jimmy Carter and Al Gore noted the influence these broadcasts had on influencing the Bush administration. Melli also partnered with Global University System and the NYC Board of Education to demonstrate e-learning. He is also an award winning producer for his work on environmental issues and work with homeless children. Frank has lectured in universities and taught media literacy in NYC. Work with the natives defending the Brazilian rain forest is an ongoing long term process to which Melli continues to dedicate his life. He produced and edited 62 yoga videos in India to show the medical benefits of yoga and continues to freelance as a broadcast engineer and TV News editor to WPIX/Tribune in NYC."- This quote is from JABA's "Meal Programs: Feeding a Crowd with Local Food" Award-winning.
