Food, Farming and Community -
The Voices Project at Michigan State University Museum presents resources to build greater understanding about farmers, farming and food. These issues and relationships affect everyone, everyday. Our health and the environment are at stake. From the beginning, this project was imagined as a way to make the voices of farmers come alive and by doing this to stimulate discussion about the economic and ecological sustainability issues contemporary agriculture faces. . . . issues that affect children, families, farmers, our communities, and the land around us. |

Food and Society Update Volume 6, Issue 10 (July 2007) - Signs of a Culture Shift -
Welcome to the July edition of the Food and Society Update. This month, we've been on the lookout for signs of a culture shift—signs that the food system and the food movement are moving into the national consciousness. We've discovered blurring lines within the environmental movement, where the solutions to a runaway food system and a dangerously warming planet are pieces of the same puzzle. At recent networking conferences for both food writers and culinary professionals, the food systems story has been the main dish. In the aisles of local bookstores around the country and in public meetings about the politics of the plate, the story being told is all about food. But we think this is just the tip of the iceberg. |
