Edible Education 101: A Complete Course on Modern Food Production

Slow Food International founder and president Carlo Petrini discusses the goals of the global food movement.

In his Edible Education 101: The Rise and Future of the Food Movement, Berkeley journalism professor and best-selling author Michael Pollan yields the spotlight to other experts: Though he appears frequently as introducer, moderator, and panelist, the classes are focused on an all-star cast of guest lecturers.
