ABOUT THE EVENT
Food in the Changing World with Alana Mann & Catriona Macmillan
We can inform ourselves and make a choice, which is the simplest tool available to us all, it is also the most powerful. When we decide what to put on our table and how, we are also deciding what type of economy to support, what relationships to prioritize, if and how we want to protect natural resources and the environment, if and how we want to defend the rights of workers and indeed our own health
SESSIONS TIME & DATE
Monday 12th April 2021 at 6.45PM
Ticket : $12.50 with snacks and refreshments.
Transition Bondi is an initiative of Transition Sydney
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Associate Professor Alana Mann
Food Systems Research, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Sydney, Author. Alana is a food activist researching the power relations between media, governments, institutions and citizens, in the field of food politics. Author of the book" Food In a Changing Climate". Alana is fascinated by how much the people who grow and raise our food have in common, namely an overwhelming sense of care and responsibility for the land, water, and multispecies they rely on. She is deeply concerned at how little farmers' contribution to our food security and the health of our ecosystems is appreciated by many city dwellers. "I am to change that through my work."
