Climate Action Book Club: The Politics of Food
Food is political, environmental, and deeply personal. For our next Climate Action Book Club, we're diving into the complex systems that shape what we eat—from industrial farming to the cultures and traditions we grew up with. We're asking questions about who profits, the tradeoffs we all face, and what it might look like to make conscious choices within imperfect systems.
Whether you're vegan, omnivore, or somewhere in between, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer invites us to examine where our food comes from and what we value. Join us for a judgement-free conversation where we question, listen, and learn together.
💭We’ll have discussion prompts to help kick off the conversation
