The Growing Ester's Biodiversity discussion group meets once a month, beginning January 14, 4:30 pm, at the JTEL office. Group members get together to talk about books and movies on food issues: domestication, industrial agriculture, alternative agriculture, biotechnology, diet, nutrition, Slow Food, traditional and cultural foodways, climate change, agrobiodiversity, food justice, food sovereignty, food democracy, Alaska's food system, and much more. Movies may be shown. If you are interested in food, agriculture, and the issues affecting our food system today, please join us! Below are lists of books and movies suitable for a discussion group. Some titles have associated websites. Most of the books and some films are available at the John Trigg Ester Library or Calypso Farm & Ecology Center's resource library. To see if we have these titles, check our online catalog.
