Get Involved with NOVA Foodways, April 26

Foodways connect culture and identity through the way people produce, prepare and consume food. Food culture includes agriculture, history, geography, economics, science, health, anthropology and other disciplines.

NOVA Foodways: Global Culture, Third Spaces and Community is a series of upcoming events on the Alexandria Campus that will explore the cultural diversity of foodways on our campus and throughout the greater Alexandria community with an exhibit, talks and lectures, a web site, art, films and food tastings.

The first event is Tuesday, April 26, from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m., and features Richard Morris, co-executive director of Farm and Foodroots at Cultivate Charlottesville. Cultivate Charlottesville engages youth and the community in building an equitable, sustainable food system through garden-based experiential learning, growing and sharing healthy food, amplifying community leaders and advocating for food justice.
