Food, Farming, and Faith

In March 2016, the Leadership and Multifaith Program (LAMP) hosted its second symposium on issues of food and farming from religious, scientific, historical, and public policy perspectives.

Through this event, LAMP sought to provide a forum for students, scholars, and community members in Atlanta to consider the current practices and ethical challenges of food production and consumption, from small-scale local agriculture to the global food supply.
