The Social Economic Academy, a non profit organization aimed at promoting social and economic change in Israel that opens its courses to the entire general public, will be leading a course on food politics this fall – starting in September.
The name of the course is What Are We Nourished By? and will be held at Kibbutz Revadim in south-central Israel.
The course will not be taught by a single lecturer, and will rather be taught by a variety of people with different perspectives on food – ranging from chefs, to environmentalists, to farmers, to devout vegetarians. All of the lecturers are participating in the course on a volunteer basis. Each class will present a new issue and be lead by a different lecturer.
