The Process focus:
Climate Change are extremely complex and interlinked with our socio-economic and political system as well as our acquired habits and mind set. Such macro issues seem mind boggling for us to work with. Yet issues related to food are critical to our lives and hence we need to acquire knowledge of hidden realities about our food and food system and begin to make choices which are healthy and fight against foods that are unhealthy for us.
The Process focus of the conference therefore will be around these questions :
✓ Are we – and our children – eating healthy foods today?
✓ How do certain chemicals in food affect our health and behaviour?
✓ How can we understand issues regarding food today? (food is not the same as it was 30 years ago)
✓ Why do we need to see “the Bigger Picture” – (connections with agriculture and climate change)
✓ Why do we need awareness about labelling and the persuasive power of the media?
✓ Exploring positive steps forward to be committed to healthy eating and safe foods.
The content focus will be on these areas:
‣ Processed foods
‣ Toxic effect of Chemical Agriculture
‣ Genetically Modified Foods
‣ How our food system impacts climate change
