Food Sustainability & Food Security Feb 5-7 ,2009
http://english.ucsb.edu/faculty/acarruth/food_conference/program/index.htm

In response to current international conflicts 
over hunger, food prices, and genetically 
modified seeds, the matter of food has become 
central to both environmental and economic 
policymaking. In this context, the 
interdisciplinary field of food studies has a new 
purchase. This conference will gather some of the 
country's leading food scholars­many of whom are 
affiliated with the UC system­to examine the 
meaning of food sustainability in particular 
regional contexts from Africa to the Middle East 
to the Americas. The conference will provide a 
timely occasion for scholars from the Humanities, 
Social Sciences, and Sciences as well as 
activists and farmers to dialogue about the 
global food system in both contemporary and historical contexts.
