Our rapidly changing climate comes with myriad consequences, including changes to our food that range from subtle to profound. Unfortunately, not enough people understand the extent of these changes. Flavors, aromas, nutritional quality, availability, and the prices of the foods that we require daily are all being impacted. Given the intimate relationship we have with food, it could be the messenger needed to wake everyone to the grand challenge we face.
We all eat and it’s all changing. Every one of us can help tell this story and bring about the societal changes that are desperately needed to keep our favorite foods on the menu and, coincidentally, help keep our planet livable.
Join us as we welcome Michael (Mike) Hoffmann, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Entomology in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. Professor Hoffmann is also the lead author of
“Our Changing Menu: Climate Change and the Foods We Love and Need”; he is the perfect person to help us understand how we can use the power of food to confront climate change.
