Slow Food RVa, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, and the St. Stephen’s Farmers Market are hosting a day-long webcast and viewing party of TEDxManhattan’s “Changing the Way We Eat,” this Saturday, February 12, from 10am-6pm at Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church’s Fellowship Hall at 6000 Grove Avenue. The lecture highlights the work being done to shift our food system from industrially-based agriculture to one in which healthy, nutritious food is accessible to all. Viewing parties are being held in dozens of venues across the country. The event is free and open to the entire Richmond community.
Environmental advocate, author, and co-producer of An Inconvenient Truth, Laurie David will host TEDxManhattan. She will be joined by other national leaders in the sustainable food movement including Slow Food USA President Josh Viertel; Dr. Tenley Albright, Director of MIT Collaborative Initiatives; Lucas Knowles, Coordinator of USDA’s Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food program; Ken Cook, President and Co-Founder, the Environmental Working Group; Curt Ellis, co-creator of the Peabody award-winning film King Corn and more.
During lunch and breaks, participants will have an opportunity to join in facilitated discussions, share their own TED-like short talks, swap recipes, network, and learn about Slow Food RVa’s goals for the year and the Slow Food movement nationally and internationally.
Lunch can be purchased from a range of local sustainably-produced food purveyors. Coffee, tea and water will be provided. Advance registration is required. For more details, see http://slowfoodrvachanging.eventbrite.com/ or email info@slowfoodrva.org.
