Wollman Hall (B500), Eugene Lang College

Wollman Hall, 65 West 11th Street, New York, NY

You can’t predict the weather, but the weather predicts how a season’s crop will fare. What does a changing climate mean for small-scale, regional growers and our food supply? In recent years, storms have flooded acres of crops, and rising temperatures have caused fruit trees to blossom early, impacting the fall harvest. Will a permanent shift in weather allow farmers to extend their growing season?

This panel of Greenmarket farmers and climate change experts will explore how this unpredictable element is shaping the food available in the local marketplace, and the ways that regional farmers are learning to adjust their practices to accommodate it.

Panelists include:

– Beatriz Beckford, New School Faculty
– Sonali McDermid, NYU Faculty,
– Keith Stewart, Keith’s Farm.

This panel will be moderated by Challey Comer, GrowNYC/FARMroots.

Free, but reservations are required.

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!

First Aired – 02/16/2012 12:00PM
Download MP3 (Full Episode)
From food culture in 800BCE to the present day, this week’s episode of A Taste of the Past will take you there. With the help of New School professor of food studies, Fabio Parasecoli, host Linda Pelaccio takes you on a world tour of food globalization throughout major world time periods. Parasecoli, who has also edited an encyclopedic 6-volume tome on the subject– A Cultural History of Food— discusses the rise of food scholarship in major learning institutes around the world as well how food, not just eating, is taking an ever-expanding presence in every aspect of daily life. This episode is sponsored by Fairway Market

“Food has become very important in social and political debates. So my question is were those debates already there at the Roman times, what happened in the middle ages? For example, is the family meal really an institution or did we create it 100 years ago and we just pretend its been there forever?”

Mention the name of Joe Baum (1920-1998), and the restaurants that come to mind—Windows On The World, the Four Seasons, la Fonda Del Sol—tell you he was a man of big dreams. It took a huge personality and force of will to execute some of the most extravagant restaurant projects ever seen. Joe Baum had a tenacious attention to detail and a flair for the spectacular, with the ability to pull people together to solve seemingly insurmountable obstacles. A true visionary in the spirit of those previously honored as Culinary Luminaries: James Beard, Julia Child, M.F.K. Fisher, and Craig Claiborne. Meet the people that knew and worked with Joseph Baum and learn how he changed the industry.
