On November 19-20, 2009 Israel will  hold the first ever “Food for Thought” Conference.
The topic of the conference is to make us think about our food, not just what to make for dinner today, but rather what kind of food are we eating, how it’s grown and distributed.

The conference will have a cook-down on making the tastiest meal with the lowest carbon footprint. There will also be talks on climate, agriculture, water, energy, consumerism and culture. The featured speaker will be Ruti Ozeki, author of “My Year of Meats” (1998), about two women living in Japan and America and connecting over a TV cooking show.

All this will take place in the Tel Aviv Harbor. To participate there is a need to register and pre-pay. For more information (in Hebrew) go to foodforthought.org.il

The conference is organized and sponsored by the Arava Institute, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry for the Protection of the Environment, Eretz Ahavati (The Land of My Love).
