Economics, Equality and Environment Club Meeting: Factory Farming Presentation

The Economics, Equality and Environment Club is an academic club that aims to increase awareness about sustainability and responsibility on the BMCC campus through panel discussions, field trips, experiential and action learning opportunities of current local and global economic, social and environmental issues that affect life on Earth.

March 17 Meeting Presentation: Hidden in Plain Bite: The Truth About Our Food System

The BMCC community is invited to meet Claudia Lifton, Director of Factory Farming Awareness Coalition (FFAC) from Denver, CO. Claudia created and manages FFAC’s festival outreach campaign and speaks daily to high school and college students, businesses and stakeholders about the impacts of factory farming on animals, the environment and social justice. From social justice to public health to sustainability, factory farming is one of the most serious issues facing the planet. By educating and empowering young people and stakeholder audiences about the realities of factory farming, FFAC works to build both a consumer base for a sustainable, compassionate food system and an informed citizenry that supports cultural and legislative change.
