Finally a gastronomic school that is thinking about environment. The University of Gastronomic Studies in Pollenzo, Italy brings together students from all over the world to learn about food and how to maintain biodiversity. The four-year program was developed by the Slow Food Movement and is funded by the Italian government. Students travel around via bicycle to various farms and food hubs, learning from food giants like Alice Waters, all the way to local cheese makers who live up in the mountains and have keen knowledge about food and environment. The students also learn some animal husbandry, chemistry and botany. Some of these students along with students from Yale, Stanford and Oxford universities also see the need for disadvantaged farmers – especially young ones – to be a part of the world's sustainable food community. They've started an alliance that would send a delegation of young people interested in food issues to Italy's international gathering, Terra Madre in October.

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
