Science Pub presents ‘The Right to Food’

Sunday, April 2 at 4 p.m.—BOMOSEEN— Molly Anderson, professor of food studies at Middlebury College will present at the Science Pub this Sunday at Taproom at Lake Bomoseen.

Hunger. War. Sustainability. Reform. What if healthy food for everyone were a right instead of something mostly available to wealthier people? 

The U.S. is the only industrialized country that doesn’t support the right to food, expecting it to be provided by “the market” instead, which is not ensuring everyone’s access to healthy food. Professor Molly Anderson has been studying the right to food and how different nations are implementing it. Her work bridges academia, community-based activism and social movements, and is involved in food system reform and planning at the local, state and regional scales.

Science Pub, now in its 13th year, is a free community event, made possible by Friends of Castleton Library. Taproom at Lake Bomoseen is located at 2551 Route 30N in Bomoseen.
