Organic Rising Film Screening and Panel
Sunday, April 13th | 2pm- 4:30pm
This event is free and unticketed!
Director Anthony Suau provides a thorough guide on the history of organic farming, the regulatory practices, and, most of all, the farming practices that have led to organic produce at your local grocery store or outdoor market. And to understand what organic is, it is also necessary to know what organic is not.
Suau also takes a close look at conventional agriculture through the voices of farmers and renowned scientists. The research presented by the scientists on the human and the environmental effects of synthetic pesticides is profoundly disturbing and unprecedented.
Organized by the Hopkins Center for the Arts, featuring Dartmouth Sustainability
Book Talk with Scientist and Author Lauren E. Oakes
Thursday, April 18th | 2:30 - 3:30PM | Steele 006
In Treekeepers: The Race for a Forested Future, Lauren E. Oakes takes us on a poetic and practical journey from the Scottish Highlands to the Panamanian jungle to meet the scientists, innovators, and local citizens who each offer part of the answer.
Their work isn’t just about planting lots of trees, but also about understanding what it takes to grow or regrow a forest and to protect what remains. Throughout, Oakes shows the complex roles of forests in the fight against climate change, and of the people who are giving trees a chance with hope for our mutual survival.
This event is open to the public!
Organized by the Environmental Studies, Geography, and Anthropology Departments.
