Talk: "Food Fight ~ Get informed about the Farm Bill" — Join the Center for Urban Education and Sustainable Agriculture for a talk about the Farm Bill by Daniel Imhoff, author of the soon-to-be-released book Food Fight: The Citizen's Guide to a Food and Farm Bill. Imhoff will explore the history of the bill, outline key issues from conservation to nutrition to energy policy, and describe how we can turn the tables. The Farm Bill "literally shapes our food system, our bodies, and our future ... and most experts assert that we need nothing less than a revolutionary overhaul of our farm policy to set the country on a more sustainable trajectory," says Imhoff. The lecture is cosponsored by the Ecology Center and the Marin Farmers' Market. It will be followed by a reception with light refreshments and an opportunity to talk with nonprofit organizations supporting Farm Bill policies that promote a sustainable food system. Daniel Imhoff will be available to sign copies of Food Fight and his other titles. The event may fill up, so please reserve your spot by email or phone. Port Commission Hearing Room, 2nd Floor. Location: Ferry Building, Embarcadero & Market, SF. Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm. Cost: Free. Info: 415-291-3276 x106, julie [at] cuesa.org , http://www.cuesa.org/events/calendar/ .
