From improved nutrition to better environmental stewardship, local food systems have been offered as a panacea for much of what ails us. Culturally, local food systems connect us in a way that builds communities between rural and urban families, producers and
consumers.
While many of us love knowing where our food comes from—and often the farmer who grew it—does science back up the idea that local food is more nutritious? Can it improve our environment? Does the food taste better?
Join us for a panel discussion, moderated by New Amsterdam Market's Founder and President, Robert LaValva, on the intersection of the science and culture of local food. The panel will also include a prominent chef, a local farmer, and a specialist on the impact
of local foods in terms of economics and sustainability.
After the discussion, taste some delicious local foods.
This event will be held at the South Street Seaport Museum's Melville Gallery located at 213-215 Water Street.
