It's already half over but we just heard about this: a week's worth of events are taking place right now on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, all focused on sustainability and food justice issues. Here's a sampling:


• February 3: Mind the Food Gap; dinner and conversation on food justice in Philadelphia; Sustainable food will be served; 6-7:30 p.m. 

• February 4: Food and You: Health and Nutrition; Q&A seminar and luncheon featuring sustainable food with dietician Dr. Stella Volpe; noon-1:30 p.m.

• February 5: Food Inc.: Hungry for Change Film Screening; Food, Inc. 6:30-8:30 p.m.


The series is sponsored by Bon Appétit, the company that manages the food service for U Penn, along with a number of student groups.  Complete schedule here.  All events are free and open to the public.
