Green Bag: Local Food & Food Systems as Part of a Sustainable Community

When: Wednesday, March 28, 2012

Time:  12:00pm until 1:30pm

Where: Stern Center Ballroom

In this, our 5th Green Bag Lunch Series panel, we will be discussing local foods and food systems, and how they relate to creating a sustainable community.  Food and eating are things that we do every day, and, often without us putting much thought into it, have a fundame…ntal impact on not only our own lives, but a vast network of lives throughout our communities.

How do we make responsible choices? What are the obstacles in our way? What is the status of local food in Charleston? All of these issues and more will be addressed by a panel of experts in local foods and sustainable agriculture from here in the Charleston community.

On the panel will be:

–Lisa Jones-Turansky – Director for Sustainable Agriculture, Coastal Conservation League

–Sara Clow – Manager, GrowFood Carolina

–Dr. Tracy Burkett – Director of the Environmental Studies Minor, Professor of Anthropology/Sociology

–More TBA.

All students, faculty, staff and members of the Charleston community are welcome! Invite your friends!  Snacks will be provided, but bringing a bagged lunch is encouraged.
