The Future of Food: Growing Opportunities
Food Law and Policy conversations are becoming increasingly prevalent in academic, legal, and popular discourse. The food we eat, and our laws and policy governing it, have a profound impact on urban and rural communities, the natural environment, and animals. This year’s symposium takes a critical, intersectional, and interdisciplinary look at the environmental and food justice impacts of our food systems, the public health implications of our food choices, and business of food in our modern world.

Laws protecting animals in laboratories are weak and poorly enforced. Yet individuals and organizations within and outside government are attempting to water down those laws even more.
