WHY Hunger and the Brooklyn Food Conference
My friend Alison who went foraging with me on Saturday works for an organization called World Hunger Year (WHY). She is working to organize a huge event called Brooklyn Food Conference, which takes place on May 2nd. Admission to most of it is free, with a dinner and dance costing $20. Anna Lappé and Raj Patel will be among the speakers. There are events for kids, lunch, etc. It runs from 9am to 6pm. The dinner begins at 6 and the dance at 7pm.
Here’s a really great article on Alison and WHY.
Unfortunately I will be out of town on the 2nd. I will be petting sheep at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.
