Now more than ever, understanding our food system and our role in it is not just helpful, it is crucial. In order to make smart and ethical choices about our food, we must first understand where it comes from and all the steps that go into food being available to us.

For this month's event, we are very lucky to be joined by Rosa Marruffo, program manager at Edible Schoolyard NYC. ESYNYC's mission is to support edible education for every child in New York City through hands-on cooking and gardening education. Rosa runs their East Harlem school program and will be sharing her story of working at ESYNYC, the incredible work they do as an organization, and giving us a sneak peak into their school gardens.

As always, our Q & A with Rosa will be followed by 10-15 minutes of breakout rooms for folks to meet other like-minded foodies, giving you a chance to chat with other folks passionate about the intersection of food and ethics!

We'll be donating 20% of the proceeds from this event to ESYNYC and encourage folks to learn more and make an additional donation at:
