Description
Beyond what we already know about "food miles" and eating locally, the global food system is a majorcontributor to climate change, producing as much as one third of greenhouse gas emissions. How we farm, what we eat, and how our food gets to the table all have an impact. Anna Lappe is the coauthor of Grub, Hope's Edge and currently host of MSN's Practical Guide to Healthy Living, and co hostof PBS's The Endless Feast. Lappe will outline a vision of the future in which our food system does more good than harm, with six principles for an earth-friendly diet, fueled by sustainable farming.
This amazing new series, The Good Life, has been created by Kim Ricketts/Book Events and The Warren Report, and is supported by sponsorship from Bastyr University, Tom Douglas Restaurants, Seattle's Child, Theo Chocolate, Conscious Choice/Seattle and Lush Life Floral.
