Lectures and panel discussions

February 28, 2008 ~ Agriculture in a Warmer World
What will happen to local farms as the effects of climate change become more pronounced, and what will it mean for Bay Area consumers? How will climate change impact food supply, food distribution, and food security around the world? Two researchers present their perspectives on these questions. Dr. W. Michael Hanemann is the Director of the California Climate Change Center at UC Berkeley and Chancellor’s Professor of Environmental Economics and Policy, and Dr. David Lobell is a Senior Research Scholar at Stanford University’s Program on Food Security and the Environment.

January 7, 2008 ~ Is it Safe to Eat?
E. coli, GMOs, pesticides…every week, it seems, news arrives of another potential danger in our food supply. When the very thing that is meant to nourish us may also do us harm, how can consumers be conscious without becoming paranoid? A panel of food safety experts describe strategies for making our food safer and discuss the forces that are keeping the status quo in place. Learn about the latest advocacy efforts, proposed legislation, and legal actions these groups are taking to ensure that our basic human needs are met without compromising our health. Find out how your food choices can make a difference.
