[Garden] Political Economy of Food Lecture

[Evan Coole]

Hey gang,

Thought I'd remind y'all about the food issues 
lecture this Thursday. Might be a good event to 
pick up some more garden recruits.

Cheers,
Evan

WPIRG Presents...

The Global Food Economy: The Battle for the Future of Farming
Start time: 7:00pm   End time: 9:00pm
Thursday, September 25
CEIT 1015, University of Waterloo

	While the Global North experiences record 
breaking rates of obesity, ¬the prevalence of 
high-calorie, processed fast food and stunning 
amounts of wasted food, poverty and 
malnourishment plague the Global South resulting 
in food riots, food shortages and sky-rocketing 
food prices.

	Questions are sure to emerge. Is the 
global food crisis new? What are the forces 
leading up to the problems in food distribution? 
And most importantly, what can be done to stop 
the impending crisis?

Join Dr. Tony Weis, Author of "The Global Food 
Economy: The Battle for the Future of Farming" as 
he explores the problems with the economics of 
food globally.
