Journalist and educator focused on food sustainability and social change, Simran Sethi will be joining the UBC Future of Food Global Dialogue Series and UBC Reads Sustainability to discuss loss of foods we love, the subject of her most recent book: The Slow Loss of Food we Love – Bread, Wine, Chocolate.
Simran Sethi has spent close to five years meeting tireless, courageous and innovative people dedicated to making our food supply secure, abundant and more delicious. She has travelled across six continents to interview more than 200 scientists, farmers, chefs, bakers, winemakers, beer brewers, coffee roasters, chocolate connoisseurs, conservationists, religious leaders, and advocates and experts of all types to learn the intimate stories of our foods and ways we can better save—and savor—them.
