Can we have a discussion about how we choose what we eat?
March 06, 2010
This question will be analyzed at an upcoming continuing education conference presented by your Alumni Association. Inspired by IUPUI's inaugural Common Theme book, Deep Economy by Bill McKibben, and the 2010 Spirit & Place theme, our distinguished panel of faculty and local experts will explore how and why we consume food – its sources, quality, culture, and markets and the consequences of our consumption on our local and worldwide community. Join thought provoking discussions and be prepared to challenge your current way of thinking while joining fellow alumni and friends who share your passion for learning and engagement.
Arrive early
Participants who arrive at 7:30 will receive a continental breakfast and have a chance to watch the documentary "Homegrown" from Producer/Director Robert McFalls
"Homegrown" follows the Dervaes family who run a small
organic farm in the heart of urban Pasadena, California. While "living
off the grid", they harvest over 6,000 pounds of produce on less than a
quarter of an acre, make their own bio diesel, power their computers
with the help of solar panels, and maintain a website that gets 4,000
hits a day. The film is an intimate human portrait of what it’s like to
live like "Little House on the Prairie" in the 21st Century.
