Urban Harvest – National Food Day Celebration | The New School

The Food Studies program at The New School draws on a range of disciplines to explore the connections between food and the environment, politics, history, media, and culture. Students learn the theoretical and practical tools they need to engage in the burgeoning conversation about food production, distribution, quality, and taste and to effect positive change in their own food environments.| http://www.newschool.edu/ce/foodstudies

On National Food Day, The New School’s Food Studies program and the International Culinary Center (ICC) will co-host a celebration of New York City’s urban harvest. Panelists from the for-profit, non-profit and public sector will discuss efforts in urban agriculture in New York City, exploring the pros and cons and feasibilities of for-profit and non-profit enterprises, and discussing the role of community engagement, the power of economic development and the potential for local partnerships.

Best of all, guests will have the opportunity to taste the chef-prepared bounty of NYC’s urban harvest presented by Gregg Drusinsky, Chef Instructor at The International Culinary Center, and sample wine provided by Red Hook Winery!

*Location: Wollman Hall, 65 W 11th St, 5th FL, Wednesday, October 24th 6pm

The Edible Institute at The New School: Do-it-Yourself

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vWdSQITtCQ&feature=relmfu]

The New School and the editors of Edible Manhattan and Edible Brooklyn welcome you as we kick of Eat Drink Local Week, a participatory celebration of local bounty organized by Edible magazines and GrowNYC that runs September 26 to October 6. And, because we hope Eat Drink Local will expand your mind, and not just your waistband, we’ve assembled four panel discussions – inspired partly by content in issues of Edible – that feature the food makers, journalists, activists, and locavores who make Gotham’s food culture.

Visit: http://www.newschool.edu for more information.

Taking matters into your own hands. How the DIY phenomenon has brought about an urban renaissance of everything from home canning and sold-out butchery classes to basement-cured bacon and rooftop bees.
