University Lectures and Seminars on Sustainable Food Systems
Engaging members of the campus and broader community in dialogues about sustainable food systems is a key SEED Wayne goal.
In Spring 2009, as part of the class, Cities and Food (instructor: Kami Pothukuchi), we're offering a series of seminars featuring local activists and advocates. This series is entitled: Building a Sustainable Food System in Detroit.
We have also been fortunate to be able to organize, in partnership with community organizations, lectures by internationally renowned speakers on campus.
