Food Literacy Project Speaker Series: Dr. Ann Pearson on Examining Biogeochemistry Through the Lens of the Food System, From Soil to Plate
Wednesday, November 13th  
4:30-5:30pm 
Location: Smith Campus Center, 2nd Floor, Mt. Auburn Room
This event is open to all HUID holders. 
 

Have you ever wondered how we acquire food? “As consumers, we depend on the Earth and its biological and chemical networks to generate our food, which in turn influences our cultures and societies. The various routes that transform sunlight and nutrients into the food on our plates take many forms, including industrial agriculture and hyperlocal production, but these food systems impact people and the environment differently at each stage of the journey.” 

Dr. Ann Pearson, Murray and Martha Ross Professor of Environmental Sciences at Harvard University Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences will present on the fundamental scientific concepts of biogeochemistry through the lens of food systems. This presentation is inspired by Dr. Pearson’s First-Year Seminar titled “Roots & Routes: The Biogeochemistry of Food, From Soil to Plate.” 
Registration is encouraged, as seating is limited. Sign up here.
