Purpose of the articles posted in the blog is to share knowledge and occurring events for ecology and biodiversity conservation and protection whereas biology will be human’s security. Remember, these are meant to be conversation starters, not mere broadcasts :) so I kindly request and would vastly prefer that you share your comments and thoughts on the blog-version of this Focus on Arts and Ecology (all its past + present + future).

The Story of Food

From Stephanie Feldstein, Population and Sustainability Program Director

How our food gets to our plates is a long and complex drama of people, land, water and wildlife. At every step in the process — from growing and harvesting to transportation and sale — there are impacts on workers, communities and wild places. So we’re sharing underrepresented cultural stories of food during our second annual online Food Justice Film Festival, currently underway. There’s still time to check it out: To access the festival films through Sunday, Sept. 19, create a free account.  (No access code is needed.)

 

Also this week, our Senior Food Campaigner Jennifer Molidor interviewed renowned scholar and writer Frances Moore Lappé in honor of the 50th anniversary edition of her revolutionary book Diet for a Small Planet. They talked about what inspired Moore Lappé to write the book, the role of food justice in sustainable diets, and how the narratives around what we eat need to change. For more stories about the intersection of food, justice and wildlife, subscribe to our monthly e-newsletter Food X.
