Food and the Wisconsin Idea
press release:The Systems That Feed Us
Date: April 2, 3:30pm, University Club, UW-Madison
The term “food system” is widely used in academia and the nonprofit sector, but what do we really mean by it? Are we using systems approaches to complex problems that could lead to greater understanding and effective solutions? What stands in our way?
We’ve invited two distinguished guests to share their insights and observations: Kate Clancy, Visiting Scholar at the Center for a Livable Future Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, and Senior Fellow in the Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture; and Michelle Miller, Associate Director of the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems at UW-Madison. Chloe Green will moderate the program.
Registration is required to participate in-person or via Zoom videoconferencing. To register, see the event flyer.
The program will be followed by a social hour at 4:30.
Food and the Wisconsin Idea is a monthly series of events for UW-Madison and community members to discuss food systems topics and network with each other. Videos of past programs are available at https://www.youtube.com/
