UMass Diet for a Cooler Planet meal and panel discussion
October 17, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Although we tend to associate climate change with transportation and coal, the food we eat is one of the greatest contributors to the crisis. Which means that just by changing the way you eat, you can have a significant impact on the future of our planet. Focusing on the work of Project Drawdown this special meal features climate-cooling foods that will also delight your taste buds!
The evening will also feature a special panel discussion: “Growing a cooler climate: Regional farmers & advocates discuss climate-cooling agriculture”. The panel will be from 6 PM – 7 PM in the Hampshire room with Caro Roszell, NOFA, Connor Stedman, Appleseed Permaculture, Seva Tower, Nutwood Farm and Lisa DePiano, UMass Carbon Farming Initiative, moderated by Erik Hoffner.
$14.50 at the door for dinner and the panel discussion.
Co-sponsored by the UMass Sustainable Food and Farming program and UMass Amherst Permaculture
