APRIL 29, 2010, 7:30pm (doors open at 7pm)

The production, commerce, and consumption of food play a vital role in how communities interact.  While food can bring people together, the mechanisms that put food on the table can tear them apart.  This panel will discuss the role that urban agriculture, farmers' markets, and a renewed commitment to local and sustainable products play in urban renewal and community building.  Additionally, this panel will touch on how art and creativity can play a role in these food movements.
