Sshhh, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. WARNING: TREAD THE LIST WITH CAUTION. I say this simply because a number of you will ferociously hate me after they have been subscribed for a week.
Why do I say this? The COMFOOD elist, powered by Tufts University, is a public list, which means a few things: 1. people do not know how to follow simple posting guidelines, 2. people do not understand technology. To further elaborate, it is normal to receive two mass emails a day about list removal requests. Again, you have been forewarned.
Now the good stuff…
If you can get past the pre-school nonsense, you will find a landmine of interesting food topics and good food job listings. You may even learn a thing or 50. This is the list for you if… 1. you want to be “in the know” about anything and everything food policy and food security, 2. you want to know about it first as most of the information to be dispersed throughout the food world originates here. Even prominent figures troll the elist and have been known to post.
Email subjects you can expect to receive:
Linking trends in agricultural production with human health
Where GMO existence comes from and what it could mean
World food prices
Free California Farm to School Workshops
NYC – Battery Urban Farm seeks Assistant Farm Manager
