Co-op Discussion Group on Food & Sustainability

The Earth Institute of West Michigan, part of the Northwest Earth Institute, offers discussion group courses on environmental issues. Their newest course is called Menu for the Future, it's a 6 session discussion course exploring the connection between food and sustainability.

Discussion groups meet weekly or biweekly for 6 sessions to discuss each section of the book. The cost for the course is the price of the book.

Menu for the Future will tackle subjects such as the effects of modern industrial eating habits, GMOs, farming for the future, food and health, the creation of a more just food system, and the benefits of eating local.

We would love to start up a WM Co-op Discussion Group! If you are interested please email Tara.
