On November 3, 2010, the first Food Summit event was held on the Stanford campus with the objective of determining the breadth and depth of interest in Food issues across the 7 schools of the University (Medicine, Earth Sciences, Business, Humanities & Sciences, Law, Education, and Engineering). The target audience was primarily academics. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with all seven schools represented.
Food Summit 2 builds on that success. In the past year, several projects linking multidisciplinary teams of Stanford scholars and researchers with community-based food groups/organizations were conducted or initiated. These will be featured at this year’s Summit. In addition, it is clear that there is an urgent need to develop further links between Stanford resources and community food groups. The 2011 summit will provide the forum for building that learning community for the purpose of continuing to fix our broken food system.
Food Summit 2 will feature two separate events, a Morning Program of panel speakers at the Arrillaga Alumni Center; and an evening Public Forum featuring keynote speaker Frances
Lappé at Memorial Auditorium.
