Reminder: Politics of Food this Thursday!
Oct. 12th, 2009 12:16 pmMy last prodding, I promise!
If you don't have anything to say but would still like to listen in, please feel free to come down. There'll be no pressure to talk. Similarly, if you don't have the time to prepare snacks to share, you're still very welcome - there should be plenty to go around.
There will be a dinner and discussion session on 'The Politics of Food' on the 15th of October from 6:30 until 8pm, to be held at the Edmund Rice Institute for Social Justice in Fremantle WA. The Edmund Rice Institute is at 24 High St, which is just a few minutes walk from the Fremantle train station. We will explore some of the ethical and political questions surrounding what we eat, how we eat, and how we produce food. These include:
* What is the role of food in bringing together communities, or holding them apart?
* How can we produce food ethically and sustainably?
* Can movements promoting 'slow food' and organic farming meet the needs of those on a low income?
* Can urban food production and community gardens help to feed the world?
Speakers include:
* Hon Lynn MacLaren, MLC, Member for South Metropolitan Region, Legislative Council, Parliament of Western Australia
* Louise Edmonds, Coconvenor, Fremantle Environmental Resource Network
* Me (eep!)
