The No-Nonsense Guide to World Food examines our current food system and its unsustainability, and provides examples from around the world of sustainable, healthy food alternatives.
The launch, hosted by USC Canada, where Wayne Roberts is a board member, takes place at the Mercury Lounge, 56 Byward Market Square, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. He’ll speak at 6:30 p.m. It’s free, but you’re advised to register in advance at https://www.uniiverse.com/listings/book-launch-no-nonsense-guide-to-world-food-ottawa-761XG.
