The "Food Crisis" and International Trade

Date: April 13, 2011
Time: Networking and refreshments at 6:00pm.
Program commences at 6:30pm.
Location: Law offices of Baker & McKenzie in the Grace Building,1114 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY

Cost: $20 for OWIT members, students, and government employees, $25 for non-members


Please join me next week for a lively presentation on food together with a beer and cheese tasting thereafter - yum!

Speaker Jessica Wurwarg will address the causes of the food “crisis” linking them to international trade through a discussion around issues such as export bans and agricultural subsidies.

Jessica, together with fellow OWIT-NY Board Member, Carolyn Avery, will then introduce us to a selection of local cheeses paired with various beers.

Jessica Wurwarg is a food policy specialist, an adjunct instructor at both NYU and the New School, and is a former World Bank staffer.

Jessica currently works full time for the City of New York, and also teaches classes about cheese and pairings with wine and beer.

This promises to be an intellectually and gastronomically stimulating evening! And, of course, I will be there – what more could you ask for?
