Urban Food Symposium
The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum invites you to attend an action-packed Urban Food Symposium on a critical conservation and sustainability issue – our food system. The Symposium begins Friday evening, September 6 at the Nature Museum with cocktails, appetizers and a keynote speech from Barton Seaver, best-selling author, chef and National Geographic Fellow. During your Museum visit, don't miss your last chance to walk through our exhibit, Food: The Nature of Eating, before it closes on September 8.
The Symposium continues the following day at Loyola University’s Lakeshore campus where thought leaders from Chicago, the Midwest and across the nation will gather to explore the topics of social, justice, environmental and nutritional issues of our national food system and how to find the appropriate balance between food production, access and responsible environmental stewardship.
