Join us for this short-term book discussion about food! Working with histories, novels, and journalism, this series exposes some of the issues that lie on our plates. Discussion will be led by Avalon Gupta VerWiebe of the Syracuse-Onondaga Food Systems Alliance (SOFSA). VerWiebe holds a Masters in Food Science from Syracuse University. The program may also include guest speakers and hands-on experiences.
Texts include:
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
