'The Politics of Food' will be explore some of the ethical and political questions surrounding what we eat, how we eat, and how we produce food.

Thursday 15 October - 6.30-8.00pm

Edmund Rice Centre, 24 High Street, Fremantle

Gold coin donation

Topics to be covered include:

• What is the role of food in bringing together communities, or holding them apart?
• How can we produce food ethically and sustainably?
• Can movements promoting 'slow food' and organic farming meet the needs of those on a low income?
• Can urban food production and community gardens help to feed the world?

We encourage people from all walks of life to join us for dinner and discussion. Whether you're involved in academia, activism, or just have a personal interest in the politics of food, you're welcome to join us. We encourage you to bring a plate to share, and to begin the discussion: are you vegetarian? Vegan? Do you try to 'eat local'? Do you have food that is important to your community? Are you too busy too cook?

Eating together has always been an important part of building communities: please help us to build a vibrant dialogue around the politics of what we eat.
