 19 February

7.30 -10.00 pm

 Come to an evening with :-

 Prof. Gilles-Eric Séralini and Jérôme Douzelet and Dr. Vandana Shiva - 

Gilles-Eric Séralini and Jérôme Douzelet's talk on “Culinary pleasures or hidden poisons?” A dialogue between a chef and a scientist, each will reveal their experiences with the health problems that chemically grown food can generate and the creation of a joyful, natural, and organic cuisine, full of flavour, colour, and texture, in harmony with biodiversity and health – in line with the sense of the word “restaurateur” as one who restores health.

Dr Vandana Shiva's talk on "Preserving seed integrity and food sovereignty" will focus on seed preservation. Seed is the first link in the food chain and is the ultimate symbol of food security. She will discuss how new technologies developed in the green revolution and biotechnologies, devalue the cultural and traditional knowledge embodied in the seed, and erode the holistic knowledge of the seed from the community. This results in the seed knowledge,  integrity and diversity becoming extinct.

 The evening cost is $35 un waged and $40 waged.  Please fill in the registration form above
