    Announcement for a ONE Professional Development Workshop:

    "Is Eating Well also Eating Good? Teaching Sustainability through
    the Lens of Food." On Saturday, August 04, 2007, 4:00 PM - 6:00
    PM, at the Loews Philadelphia in Commonwealth D.

    This workshop will address food production and consumption, and the
    notion of a sustainable "good life." This workshop will help inform
    and inspire those attending to use the lens of food to teach
    sustainability. We will focus on economic, ecological, and social
    sustainability by examining issues related to food production and
    consumption. Specifically, we will look at such issues as local vs.
    distanced food production, organic vs. non-organic foods, small farms
    vs. large corporate ownership, and fast food vs. slow food. These
    issues allow us to consider impacts on environment, income
    distribution, community organization, our human connection to nature
    and to one another, and food safety and security. The presenters
    include academics who have integrated food topics into teaching and
    research, as well as practitioners from Whole Foods and the regional
    food production community.

    All are welcome, and preregistration is not necessary.
