THE ETHICS OF EATING: THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL CONNECTIONS OF THE FOOD THAT WE EAT

 

Over the past hundred years there has been a dramatic change in the way that we grow, package, market and prepare our food. Today we hear of issues of such as genetically engineered foods, declining seed diversity, the obesity epidemic, famine, the labeling of organic foods, food safety and more. The discussion will focus on the ecology of food, the ethics of food production and the food revolution of tomorrow.

 

The series will be presented by Julie Vallimont, an educator at the Harvard Museum of Natural History and a graduate student in Environmental Management at Harvard University.
