• 2012 Environmental Summit: Local Foods and Urban Health

  • When
    04 May 2012
  •  
    9:00 AM - 3:00 PM (EDT)
  • Location
    Fourth Floor, IUPUI Campus Center, 420 University Blvd, Indianapolis 46202

  Community gardens, urban agriculture, school-based gardens, farmers’ markets and locally grown foods are growing in popularity.  Compared to conventionally grown foods, these alternatives impact our environment and health in different ways. These foods are often grown more sustainably, with fewer agrichemicals and fuel use. Fresh local food can carry more nutrients and help fill a need for fresh fruits and vegetables in urban neighborhoods where obesity and diabetes are rampant. Urban gardens and farmers’ markets can have implications for food safety, as well.  The safety and regulatory infrastructure in place for U.S. food systems do not always apply to these alternatives.  

  Join us to discuss these issues on Friday, May 4, for the fourth Indiana Environmental Health Summit at the Campus Center at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, 420 University Blvd. 

  Cost: $20 (includes lunch and parking)

  Topics:

  • The national movement toward local and urban foods
  • Health and environmental implications of local foods  
  • Encouraging locally grown food while ensuring food safety
  • Local foods and institutions: how to break barriers

  Draft agenda coming soon.
  

  • Directions to IUPUI Campus Center
  • Parking Information: Parking will be free in the on-campus garages near the Campus Center. We recommend the Vermont Street Garage just west of the Campus Center.
