Sustainable Food Monitor

Are you attending CSD and want to witness, first hand, New York’s efforts to create a just, sustainable food system??  Want to hear keynote speakers and well-known activists, including:

• Dan Barber, executive chef and owner of Blue Hill Restaurant, and a leader of fair trade development and healthy food;
• Anna Lappé, co-founder of the Small Planet Institute and the author of Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen;
• Raj Patel of the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of Stuffed and Starved: The Hidden Battle for the World Food System; and
• LaDonna Redmond, head of the Institute of Community Resource Development in Chicago.

If you answered YES to any of these questions, please join us on May 2 in Brooklyn for the FIRST EVER Brooklyn Food Conference, organized by the Brooklyn Food Coalition. The conference will feature workshops, demonstrations and a chance to hear how the global food economy affects our communities directly from chefs and experts.

There will be opportunities to network, outreach and plan for CSD events with participants of both the Brooklyn Conference and the CSD, including youth and international civil society delegates invited to the Brooklyn event.

The event details are as follows:

• When: May 2nd, 2009 starting at 9:00am — all day
• Where: Public School 321 and John Jay High School; 7th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn
• Cost: FREE and open to all

Further information can be found on the Brooklyn Food Conference website.

We look forward to seeing you there!!
