Subj: Food Policy Seminar: Peter Mann on the Right to Food: Please note change in location
Thurs May 17: Right to Food
Peter Mann, Director Emeritus, Global Movements Program, WhyHunger
Graduate Center, Room 3207
9:30 - 11:00am

Peter has been working for over twenty five years to expand WhyHunger's international outreach and connect its domestic work fighting hunger and poverty with international partners. As human rights and sustainable development became a new context for the struggle against hunger and poverty in the 1990s and early 21st century, Peter developed partnerships for WhyHunger at UN conferences on the Environment, Women's Rights, Poverty, Food, Sustainable Development and the Millennium Development Goals. Peter has written extensively on these powerful social movements for water, land, credit, and food as a human right. Peter was a founding member of International Partners for Sustainable Agriculture (IPSA), Just Food in New York City, and a board member of the Community Food Security Coalition (www.foodsecurity.org<http://www.foodsecurity.org/>) where he worked on linking anti-hunger and food system movements in the US and internationally. He is active in the local food movement around community gardens, urban farming, farm to school programs, and sustainable agriculture.
