Calling all Foodies! Yes, you, the person who wants to know their food.
You know that organic banana you’re munching come from Costa Rica, but do you know how it was produced? Do you know how it was transported to your grocery? How about the cost breakdown of the 98 cents a pound you paid?
Join the Northwestern University Sustainable Food Talks (NU Food Talks). The program’s mission is to strengthen our sustainable food systems network, our knowledge base, and find ways together to maximize our outreach.
They will host a pot-luck talking group the first Tuesday of each month made up of students, faculty, staff, community members, food advocates and experts. Each meeting features an expert from part of our food system who will speak on their work, the issues they face, and how it affects our foodshed. From these conversations they will develop action points for individuals and initiatives to be implemented by partnering organizations.
The first official kick-off pot-luck is:
Tuesday, March 6 from 6:30-8:00pm
Evanston, IL Campus.
If you are a student, faculty, staff, or community member and would like to join their planning committee please e-mail them at nusustainablefoodtalks@gmail.com
