Food law symposium notice and call for articles/speakers

Duke Environmental Law and Policy Forum has issued a call for articles and presenters for a symposium on the national food system, which will be at Duke Law school on Friday, January 23, 2015. The working title is  "Carrots and Sticks: Moving the U.S. National Food System Toward a Sustainable Future." According to the announcement I received today, the students are in the final stages of soliciting articles and speakers, and are particularly interested in contributions on food safety and labeling.

 

If you're interested in contributing an article or participating in some way, you can contact Editor-in-Chief Francesca Bochner at [email protected], or Managing Editor Gordon Sommers at [email protected].   

 

According to Michelle Nowlin, Supervising Attorney and Senior Lecturing Fellow at Duke Environmental Law and Policy Clinic, Durham boasts pleasant January weather, an exceptional year-round Farmers' Market, many fine farm-to-table restaurants, has received many awards for its dedication to the modern food movement, and supports several independent food aggregators who are working to rebuild the regional food system. Duke also has an excellent campus farm that encourages visitors from other academic institutions. For more information on Durham, visit:  http://www.durham-nc.com/dining/, www.carolinafarmstewards.org, http://www.cefs.ncsu.edu/, www.firsthandfoods.com,  www.easterncarolinaorganics.com, http://www.cccc.edu/curriculum/majors/sustainableagriculture/.
