Event details: From the Farm to Your Plate
Description
Where does our food come from and how does it get to us? What we eat and drink has ecological consequences — from energy and water use to pollution and pesticides. Learn about the impact of the production, packaging, and transportation of food on our environment. Consider possible changes on the national and local level and discuss what we can do to improve lives through our food choices. No previous knowledge of this topic is expected or required.
