Symposium on Food Systems & Public Health S3: Safe, Secure, Sustainable

The health of the public, our environment and the economy are intrinsically linked to our food system and the food choices we make. The 2009 S3 Symposium will examine aspects of our current food system that define varying levels of food safety, security, and sustainability, explore the implications for our health, and unveil ground-breaking solutions to our most pressing issues. Featuring speakers such as Keynote Speaker Mike Taylor, the FDA's Senior Advisor to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, Dr. Mark Horton, Director, CDPH, A.G. Kawamura, Secretary, CDFA, and Andy Fisher, Executive Director, Community Food Security Coalition, S3 sessions will appeal to a wide array of disciplines, including Public Health, Environmental Health, Epidemiology, Nutrition, Food Safety, Food Industry, Agriculture, Academia and more. Participants of S3 will play an integral role in the first ever Symposium on Food Systems & Public Health by joining an impressive cast of speakers, panelists and moderators who will frame the role of public health in promoting a food system that is S3: safe, secure & sustainable.
