How Can We Build a Better Food System? A Roundtable Discussion

The NYU Food Impact Program will launch with a roundtable discussion between program founders Sonali McDermid and Jeff Sebo and Environmental Studies faculty Becca Franks, Christopher Schlottmann, David Kanter, and Matthew Hayek, with opening remarks from CEAP Founding Director Dale Jamieson. Drawing on perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, the discussion will range from how food systems affect animal welfare, public health, and the environment to how individual, corporate, and governmental action can overcome obstacles to reform. We will also have time for discussion with the audience, and a reception will follow for in-person guests.
