On Thursday, April 21 and Friday, April 22, the University will host Foodbetter Harvard, a two-day event on the Science Center Plaza uniting our community around food as a valuable area of work, study, and institutional action on our campus and in our affiliated communities. Foodbetter Harvard invites you to ask questions about the food system and how to improve it: how to grow better, eat better, shop better, conserve better . . . how to Foodbetter.  

Events will include presentations, cooking and science demonstrations, panels and an innovation and sustainability fair. A full schedule of events is available online. The program features faculty and students from virtually every school at Harvard!

Speakers at the Keynote Address on Thursday, April 21, 4 p.m. include Chef Dan Barber, Alumna and Chef Joanne Chang, and Harvard nutrition expert Dr. Walter Willett who will discuss the impact of food on our environment, our health, and our sense of pleasure and comfort. The conversation will be moderated by Harvard's Dr. Aaron Bernstein.     

At the end of the day's program on Thursday, we invite you to continue the conversation at a Foodbetter Harvard reception on the Plaza. Tickets are required: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/foodbetter-harvard-reception-tickets-24319765072
