Food.
Bountiful food is celebration, creative food is art, particular foods mark cultures, lack of food is deadly. Food is so central to who and what we are that we, too often, take it for granted. But many humans are not afforded this luxury.
Now, we find ourselves at the brink of a potential crisis. A growing human population coupled with food production practices that are potentially devastating for the environment, other animals and human health (factory farming, monoculture, intensive agriculture) threaten life in many forms – both human life and entire ecosystems.
This year’s Brown Symposium considers Food from many angles and ponders ways we can rethink our relationship with this most basic, beautiful and complex of needs.
The Brown Symposium is presented by Southwestern University on an annual basis and this year’s focus is on the future of food and includes lectures from professors from Indiana University, University of California Davis. Open to the public without charge, the symposium is funded through an endowment established by The Brown Foundation, Inc., of Houston, Texas. While the event is free, they do request that you RSVP.
