SUMMARY:Food Justice at the Intersection of Food\, Politics\, Art\, and Culture
DESCRIPTION:How can we create a world in which all Americans\, regardless of income\, geography\, or race have access to healthful\, fresh\, affordable\, and culturally appropriate food? In this interactive talk\, Bryant Terry will take us on a journey of his more than two-decade career as a chef\, author\, publisher\, and community builder committed to creating a healthful\, just\, and sustainable food system. From grassroots organizing to book publishing\, Terry has employed cultural strategy\, a field of practice that centers art\, storytelling\, media\, and cooking (in Bryant’s case) to bring about social change. Through a dynamic presentation that includes singing and rapping\, and fusing personal narrative with food politics\, Terry will show us how to improve access to fresh food in our communities — whether that community is your campus\, workplace\, neighborhood\, or your group of friends. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Closing the Food Loop: How to Make Composting Work for Your Restaurant
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, an estimated 25 to 40 percent of all food produced or imported for consumption in the United States is never eaten. Of that wasted food\, 40 percent is estimated to come from consumer-facing businesses— like restaurants\, event venues\, etc. And all that wasted food means wasted money\, by some estimates as much as $57 billion annually for U.S. businesses. Here in Deschutes County\, wasted food makes up over 25% of waste at Knott Landfill by tonnage – making it the largest category of waste in the landfill! \nIt’s time to rethink food waste\, and we want to help you do it. \nThis free\, interactive panel discussion will dig into tips on getting started\, infrastructure\, troubleshooting\, and more. Learn about local food waste resources and hear from food service businesses that are composting on-site and off-site. This discussion is open to owners\, managers\, and staff in the culinary community. And we hope attendees will chime in with your experience and expertise as well! \n\n\n\n\nRegister here!
