On Aug. 11, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., TedxLA Miracle Mile presents ‘Food and Food Systems in the 21st Century’ at UCLA’s Fowler Museum.
Spawned from the nonprofit organization TED, TEDx is a program of independently organized events that bring together people from the worlds of technology, entertainment and design (hence the name TED) to engage in the sharing and spreading of ideas. Next month’s TEDx gathering at the Fowler will examine food and food production on a local and globalized scale. Speakers will address what is obsolete and what is up to par -- politically, socially, economically and culturally -- in the context of today’s rapidly growing human population.
The event will be a merging of minds with guest speakers such as Jason Kelly Johnson and Nataly Gattegno of Future Cities Lab and Jonathan Todd of John Todd Ecological Design. Also joining in on the discussion of food will be Tara Kolla of Silver Lake Farms, Ken and Kathy Lindner of Lindner Bison, Laura Avery of Santa Monica Farmers Market and ‘Righteous Porkchop’ author Nicolette Hahn Niman, among others.
The daylong event includes a pre-event mixer with access to the museum, a catered box lunch by Auntie Em’s Kitchen and a post-event wine and cheese reception. Tickets are $60 for general admission or $48 for students, seniors and Fowler Museum members.
