Foodprint LA at LACMA This Weekend

This weekend Foodprint Project returns to Los Angeles with its much-anticipated event, Foodprint LA. According to Nicola Twilley, co-founder of Foodprint Project, the event will “…explore the forces that have shaped the Angeleno foodscape and speculate on how to feed LA in the future.”

Attendees can participate in a compelling set of cross-disciplinary panel discussions that will examine a range of fascinating topics, from ghost orchards to taco trucks, and from the city’s century-old water grab to the eviction of South Central Farm.  I’m particularly excited about the fantastic lineup of panelists who will share their insights and knowledge during this one-day event. Just check out this list:

Program schedule:

• Zoning Diet: Hadley Arnold, Dr. Deborah Cohen, Paula Daniels, Rudy Espinoza, Nate Berg
• Culinary Cartography: Jonathan Gold, Mary Lee, Benjamin Stokes, Teague Weybright
• Edible Archaeology: Gustavo Arellano, Willy Blackmore, Judith Gerber, Matt Novak, Jessica Rath
• Feast, Famine, and Other Scenarios: Christina Agapakis, Allison Carruth, Erik Cutter, Joseph Wickham
