Our new series, Feeding a Changing World, will explore the complex forces reshaping the food we eat; how it’s produced; and why it matters. We’ll delve into the global networks that move it, and the urgent challenge of producing enough to feed the world in an era of climate disruption and trade wars. We’ll examine the impact of consumer-driven trends like organics and the “Made in Canada” movement, and how food has evolved from sustenance to entertainment. And because our home is Northumberland County, we’ll look at cutting-edge farming techniques!
Events will take place on Thursday evenings October 16, 23, 30 and November 13, 20, 27 at 7:30 pm in the Cobourg Columbus Community Centre, 232 Spencer St. East. Tickets are $25 each (buy a “One Click” package for $150).
There’s also a FARM TOUR on Saturday, October 25 – $15 (not included in the Thursday evening ticket package price).
Events will be recorded. Ticket purchasers will be sent recordings after the event.
A limited number of free tickets to speaker events are available for Northumberland County secondary students. Contact Joanne O'Sullivan for information about NLC's Education Program at mjoanne.osullivan@gmail.com.
