Where Food Comes From

By John Rudolph on Wednesday, July 18, 2007.

More and more people are becoming concerned with where their food is coming from, how safe it is and how they can best navigate the food world. We'll take a look at the policies around imported foods, including a movement to have so-called country of origin labeling applied to foods and also look at the trade-off between demand for certain kinds of food and how far supermarkets have to go to get them onto their shelves, especially in the off-season.

Guests

  • Patty Lovera, Assistant Director for Food & Water Watch in Washington, D.C. She works on the food team, especially on meat inspection and mad cow disease, country of origin labeling, and dairy issues.
  • Dr. Joanne Burke, Director of the Dietetic Internship Program and Clinical Assistant Professor of Animal and Nutritional Sciences at UNH. She is also an Advisory Member of the UNH Food and Society Initiative of the UNH Office of Sustainability and a founding member of the UNH New Hampshire Center for a Food Secure Future.
