The Ethics of Food & the Environment Series/Katrina Heron (Chez Panisse Foundation, Slow Food Nation)

"Coming Back To Our Senses: Relearning the Story and Values of Real Food" Now that we've lost our relationship with the food we eat, where to go from here? Katrina Heron is a director of the Chez Panisse Foundation, working with Alice Waters to bring the ideas of edible education to a national audience, with an emphasis on reforming public nutrition programs for children. She was board chair of Slow Food Nation 2008, a food conference held last year in San Francisco that featured an organic garden planted in front of City Hall. Heron is also the former editor-in-chief of Wired magazine and a former senior editor at The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times Magazine.
