Local Food Economy Forum to Be Held Thursday


Nurture Nature Center, located at 518 Northampton St., will hold a forum on Thursday evening on the local food economy.

The evening will include the premiere of a new movie for Nurture Nature Center’s Science on a Sphere Exhibit, Two Billion More Coming to Dinner. It will be followed by a talk by Lynn Prior, director of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chapter of "Buy Fresh Buy Local," who will discuss the Lehigh Valley Fresh Food Access Plan, currently under development. 

The forum will provide an opportunity for the community to express their views on the current state of fresh food in the Lehigh Valley and strategies to improve this economy in the future.

Free locally grown refreshments including veggies and beer tasting will be offered. Additionally, an art reception for NNC's current community art exhibit, Food for Thought, will take place prior to the talk.

The reception begins at 6:30 p.m., and the film, speaker and discussion will run from 7 to 9 p.m.

Registration is required to attend--call Kate Brandes at 610-253-4432 or email her to RSVP.
