Announcement for a ONE Professional Development Workshop, Is Eating Well also Eating Good? Teaching Sustainability through the Lens of Food. On Saturday, August 04, 2007, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, at the Loews Philadelphia in Commonwealth D.
This workshop will address food production and consumption, and the notion of a sustainable good life. This workshop will help inform and inspire those attending to use the lens of food to teach sustainability. We will focus on economic,
ecological, and social sustainability by examining issues related to food production and consumption. Specifically, we will look at such issues as local vs. distanced food production, organic vs. non-organic foods, small farms vs. large corporate
ownership, and fast food vs. slow food. These issues allow us to consider impacts on environment, income distribution, community organization, our human connection to nature and to one another, and food safety and security. The presenters include
academics who have integrated food topics into teaching and research, as well as practitioners from Whole Foods and the regional food production community.
All are welcome, and preregistration is not necessary.
