Cahners Theater
With Corby Kummer, host, The Atlantic Food Channel and author, The Pleasures of Slow Food; Julie A. Burba , certified culinary professional, Cambridge School of Culinary Arts ; Hannah Freedberg, development and outreach director, Mass Farmers Markets ; JJ Gonson, personal chef and food activist, Cuisine en Locale. This presentation is part of the ongoing series Let's Talk About Food.

FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers, and business people across America who are reinventing our food system. Each has witnessed firsthand the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Advocating healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for the future of our food and our planet.

FRESH is the first of many films the Museum will present over the coming year that explore the art, science, culture, and critical issues related to that delicious essential of our lives: food.

Seating is limited. Passes are available in the Museum lobby beginning at 12:30 p.m. on October 9.
