Ecogastronomy: Fusing Pleasure and Principles
This presentation is for people who want to live a healthier, more pleasurable life while helping create a more environmentally sustainable and socially just world. The focus is on everyday, realistic, effective strategies for change. Participants are given handouts that categorize and prioritize solutions and offer suggestions for people of all income levels who want to reconnect with food and join the sustainable revolution.
The Ecogastronomy Pyramid
This fun seminar takes off where the USDA food pyramid is afraid to go. By considering the environmental and social impact of food choices as well as our personal health, the pyramid simplifies and prioritizes ecogastronomy. Participants walk away with a clever graphic to remind them what choices better made sparingly and which should be an integral part of daily life.
The Triple Bottom Line: Fusing Profit and Principles
“Doing the right thing” used to mean profits were sacrificed for the better good. Participating organizations will learn how to join the shifting paradigm in the USA where companies who commit to green and ethical business practices are getting ahead. Topics include how to market to the evolving LOHAS (Lifestyle Of Health And Sustainability) customers and make efficient changes that benefit your employees, community, the environment, and your bank account.
School Wellness in the New Millennium
Specifically for educators, this seminar advocates an integrated curriculum and holistic approach to wellness based on the interconnection between our food choices and our health, the environment and other people. Creative solutions that help kids reconnect with food include school gardens, improved school lunch, cooking curriculums that integrate science, geography and history, and farm to school community support programs. Resources for funding and curriculum development are explored.
From the Hearth: Bringing them Home
Specifically for parents, Muncaster presents compelling arguments for the importance of family meals and practical advice for returning to the family table. Research shows that kids who eat with their families no only eat healthier, but they have better grades and are less likely to experiment with drugs and alcohol. Participants will walk away with fun, inspiring strategies and sample recipes that will help them reconnect with food, their family, their community and their culture and create memories that will last a lifetime.
