UNCG Film Series: The Future of Food


In partnership with the international non-profit Slow Food, UNCG will be showing a documentary film The Future of Food on March 29th at Jarrel Hall in Jackson Library.


Slow Food "was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world."


Wake Forest also has the opportunity to bring this appreciation back to its students by incorporating local food into Aramark's food choices. Check out Slow Food's website and the Winston-Salem Slow Food chapter to learn more about the local food movement.
