Climate Change and Food

Climate change and our food system are inextricably linked, yet most people are unaware of the ways in which our everyday choices about food affect the environment.

Conversely, while we are focused on how climate change may affect global temperatures and the polar ice cap, we have not spent much time discussing how climate change may severely impact our food system.

This panel will focus on future food production and the importance of land stewardship, biodiversity, urban planning, and much more. Come to learn how every person - whether a consumer or a policy-maker - can address climate change through how and what we eat - Slow Food Nation


Re-Localizing Food

In addition to preserving precious fossil fuel energy, buying food locally saves money and supports local economies. So why does everyone coast-to-coast buy their oranges from Florida? This panel explores the challenges of building a local food system, and compares the environmental and social impacts of both a local and global approach to food. - Slow Food Nation

The World Food Crisis

It's widely acknowledged that we are in the middle of a world food crisis. Skyrocketing food and fuel costs, water scarcity, and population explosions have communities worldwide in the grip of hunger and dire food shortages. Come listen to four of the foremost authorities on the subject as they share forecasts and potential solutions for this immense global challenge - Slow Food Nation

A New, Fair Food System

Many consumers have no idea what it takes to get their food to the table. This panel will focus on current conditions and the future potential for the millions of men and women who harvest and process the food we eat each day.

Activists who campaign on behalf of farm and meatpacking workers will discuss how to create a system in which eating well and treating people right lead to success, sustainability and profitability for all - Slow Food Nation
