Nora McKeon’s just-released book explains why we find ourselves in this situation and explores what we can do to change it. In her talk she will contrast how actors link up in corporate global food chains and in the local food systems that are considered to be “alternative” but in fact feed most of the world’s population.
This annual event will attract over 700 organizers, community leaders, CSA members, local food advocates, urban and rural farmers, food professionals, entrepreneurs, and members of the press to participate in a full day of trainings, panels, policy discussions, and good food. This year’s Just Food Conference will be held Sunday, March 15, 2015, in partnership with the Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food, Education & Policy at Teachers College, Columbia University. We will kick-off the weekend with a Pre-Conference Networking Reception the evening of Friday, March 13th, hosted by the Durst Organization.
On March 17th, in honor of the 40th Anniversary of Food First / Institute for Food and Development Policy in Oakland, California, Food Policy for Breakfast will present Eric Holt-Giménez , who will speak on “Putting the Public Back in Food.” He will describe the vanishing public sphere and what local food activists can do to resist the increasing privatization of the food system.
