Good Food: From Farm to Sea to Table in South Florida
In college, I felt intimidated and unmoved by the theoryheads at school. As I used to say: Macaroni and cheese or Foucault? Which one is of greater benefit to the world? You can guess which one I chose.
The 7th Annual South Florida Environmental Ethics Conference sounds philosophical and lofty, but there’s nothing more practical than the food we eat and the soil it comes from. This year’s conference features Katy Sorenson and others discussing how to balance development and food production in South Florida (i.e. Do we really need more mini-mansions in the Redlands? Lowe’s or longans?). Other topics include nutritional equity/access to healthy food for lower income populations and fishing sustainably in South Florida. Nancy Ancrum will discuss “ethics on your plate.”
