This cross-disciplinary brainstorming and dialogue presented by the
Center for
New York City Affairs (
http://newschool.edu/milano/nycaffairs),
The New School for
Public Engagement, will examine how sustainable, locally designed and developed solutions can help communities respond to the challenges of climate change.
Food has powerful cultural meaning, and has increasingly become part of the growing ideological and political discussions around the planet's changing climate.
Food can help communities develop, sustain, and increase their viability while helping mitigate negative impacts of climate change. The discussion will focus on design and cultural interventions that reconnect people to food production while transforming the environment. This forum aims to spur discussion and action among farmers, urban community leaders and innovators, designers, artists, policymakers, scholars and others who are engaged in developing effective and imaginative responses to climate change.
