The expanding and changing global economy is profoundly impacting the way in which we think about food and nutrition. The event will feature a Global Hunger Banquet. The banquet will be an opportunity to observe—in a very real way—how different nations feed themselves, and will include reflection on issues of global hunger and nutrition. The banquet will be followed by a screening of the film The Global Banquet: Politics of Food, which focuses on the industrialized food system and its effect on our environment, health, economy and workers’ rights, and discussion of the topics raised in the film.
This event is sponsored by the Helen P. Denit Honors program, as part of their Thought for Food series and is co-sponsored by the Rosenberg Center for Student Involvement and the Diversity and Culture Center.
This event fulfills the Global Perspectives requirement for Leadership UB certification. To find out more about Leadership UB, visit www.ubalt.edu/leadership.
