Food and the City, Dumbarton Oaks, May 4-5, 2012.
The intricate interrelationship between urban context and food production, central to the current debate on sustainability, will be the focus of the 2012 Garden and Landscape Studies symposium at Dumbarton Oaks. It will explore the links between culture and cultivation, with particular respect to the modern era and urbanization schemes that engaged the production of food, either as a means to achieve self-sufficiency, or as part of a ruralist perspective.
To register and find out more information about the symposium, visit the Dumbarton Oaks website.
