学校内の楽しいイベントがたくさん盛り上がる時期ですね！

来週「地産地消」のことを考えるLocal Food Weekです。

是非足を運んでみてくださいね

Greetings,



Next week is LOCAL FOOD WEEK here on campus! This event is organized primarily by Students for Sustainable Agriculture and the ASUCD Coffee House.



Where does our food come from?

How is it grown?

How are the lives of the people who produce it?

How do our food choices impact the world around us?



If you eat food, these are important questions to ask... and Local Food Week is a good time to start.



The following events are free and open to the public:



Local Food in the Lunchroom

MONDAY 12:10 – 1 MU DeCarli Rm

How are elementary schools brining locally grown foods into their cafeterias?

Gail Feenstra from the Davis Farm to School Connection will speak about the

challenges and possibilities for local food purchasing in our schools.





Making Our Campus More Sustainable

TUESDAY 12:10 – 1pm CoHo

Directors of the CoHo and University Dining Services, along with student activists, will talk about recent efforts to serve more locally grown food on campus. Join the dialogue and learn about the student role in creating change!

Social Justice on the Farm
