Webinar: Biting the Hands that Feed Us
Wed, Sep 27, 2016 – 3:00 PM EDT
Food waste, hunger, inhumane livestock conditions, disappearing fish stocks—these are exactly the kind of issues we expect food regulations to combat. Yet, today in the United States, laws exist at all levels of government that actually make these problems worse. On September 27, join Security and Sustainability Forum and Island Press in a free webinar featuring food lawyer and professor Baylen Linnekin, author of Biting the Hands that Feed Us, and Joshua Galperin, Clinical Director and Lecturer in Law, Environmental Protection Clinic, Yale Law School, and Policy Program Director, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Learn how government rules may be handcuffing America’s most sustainable farmers, producers, sellers, and consumers, while rewarding those whose practices are anything but sustainable.
