Hazon Hosts Jewish Food Conference in California

hazon-compost If you are in the California area this winter and you care about food issues, consider heading to Hazon‘s annual food conference, from December 24-27. This is the same group running the sustainable food tour coming up in Israel.

This Jewish food seminar looks at the ethics of animal slaughter, sustainable Israeli and Palestinian farming (see our past story on Eco-Baladi) and making food from scratch among other zesty topics.

Green Prophet writer Jeff Yoskowitz is helping plan it.

Hazon runs a yearly biking trip in Israel and engages in the same debates on vegetarianism, organic farming and compost that we’ve run our mouths on here.  Sign up before October 16th for the early-bird $60 discount.

For more information, go to Hazon.

Daniella Cheslow grew up in a car-dependent suburb in New Jersey, where she noticed strip malls and Wal-Marts slowly replacing farmland. Her introduction to nature came through hiking trips in Israel. As a counselor for a freshman backpacking program at Northwestern University, Daniella noticed that Americans outdoors seemed to need to arm themselves with performance clothing, specialized water bottles and sophisticated camping silverware. This made her think about how to interact with and enjoy nature simply. This year, Daniella is getting a Master’s in Geography from Ben Gurion University of the Negev. She also freelance writes, photographs and podcasts. In her free time, she takes day trips in the desert, drops off compost and cooks local foods like stuffed zucchini, kubbeh and majadara. Daniella gets her peak oil anxiety from James Howard Kunstler and her organic food dreams from Michael Pollan. Read more at her blog, TheTruthHerzl.com.
