Luskin Innovators Speaker Series: Chasing Water featuring Brian Richter
2017-02-22 17:00 - 19:00 | Luskin School of Public Affairs, room 2355, UCLA
You are invited to join the Luskin Center for Innovation in welcoming Brian Richter discuss his book Chasing Water: A Guide for Moving from Scarcity to Sustainability. Panel discussion to follow Richter’s presentation. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served. Registration is free; seating is first come, first served.

Water scarcity is spreading and intensifying in many regions of the world, with dire consequences for local communities, economies, and freshwater ecosystems. Current approaches tend to rely on policies crafted at the state or national level, which on their own have proved insufficient to arrest water scarcity. To be durable and effective, water plans must be informed by the culture, economics, and varied needs of affected community members.
International water expert Brian Richter argues that sustainable water sharing in the twenty-first century can only happen through open, democratic dialogue and local collective action. In Chasing Water, Richter tells a cohesive and complete story of water scarcity: where it is happening, what is causing it, and how it can be addressed. Through his engaging and nontechnical style, he strips away the complexities of water management to its bare essentials, providing information and practical examples that will empower community leaders, activists, and students to develop successful and long-lasting water programs.
Chasing Water will provide local stakeholders with the tools and knowledge they need to take an active role in the watershed-based planning and implementation that are essential for water supplies to remain sustainable in perpetuity.

Liz Crosson, Office of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti
Angela George, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works

California’s Climate Future: Water and the Sierra Nevada
Over the past few years, Californians saw firsthand the consequences of hotter-than-normal temperatures and a smaller-than-normal Sierra Nevada snowpack—historically low reservoir levels, dying trees and increased wildfire risk, to name a few. You may be wondering, “If things are like this now, what will they be like in the future, as our climate continues to change?”
UCLA Professor Alex Hall and his research team have set out to understand just how climate change will impact the mountain landscapes we love and the snowpack California depends on for water. Using innovative techniques, the team has produced first-of-their-kind projections that capture the intricate physical processes affecting climate in the Sierra.

Learning at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Implications for a Sustainable World

Luskin Innovators Speaker Series: What Makes a Great City featuring Alexander Garvin
2017-01-30 17:00 - 19:00 | Luskin School of Public Affairs, room 2355, UCLA
What makes a great city? Not a good city or a functional city but a great city. A city that people admire, learn from, and replicate. City planner and architect Alexander Garvin set out to answer this question by observing cities, largely in North America and Europe, with special attention to Paris, London, New York, and Vienna.
For Garvin, greatness is not just about the most beautiful, convenient, or well-managed city; it isn’t even about any “city.” It is about what people who shape cities can do to make a city great. A great city is not an exquisite, completed artifact. It is a dynamic, constantly changing place that residents and their leaders can reshape to satisfy their demands. While this book does discuss the history, demographic composition, politics, economy, topography, history, layout, architecture, and planning of great cities, it is not about these aspects alone. Most importantly, it is about the interplay between people and public realm, and how they have interacted throughout history to create great cities.
To open the book, Garvin explains that a great public realm attracts and retains the people who make a city great. He describes exactly what the term public realm means, its most important characteristics, as well as providing examples of when and how these characteristics work, or don’t. An entire chapter is devoted to a discussion of how particular components of the public realm (squares in London, parks in Minneapolis, and streets in Madrid) shape people’s daily lives. He concludes with a look at how twenty-first century initiatives in Paris, Houston, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and Toronto are making an already fine public realm even better—initiatives that demonstrate what other cities can do to improve.

Seedstock 'Future of Food - Urban Ag Field Trip'
2017-01-27 08:00 - 17:00
Slated for Friday, January 27, 2017, the Seedstock ‘Future of Food – Urban Ag Field Trip‘ will look at the impact of urban farming in Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the United States.
The trip will offer an excursion into the diversity of urban farming and state-of-the-art hydroponic, aquaponic, and aeroponic agriculture operations in Southern California. Tour participants will be treated to lectures and sessions from urban agriculture experts, and pioneering farmers who are embracing innovative business models and growing systems to both increase food security and take advantage of the escalating demand for local food
The Future of Food – Urban Ag Field Trip in Los Angeles; Register now before it sells out!

Scheduled Stops on the Field Trip include:
1. The University of Southern California (USC) Teaching Garden – The USC Teaching Garden utilizes aeroponics to challenge the food systems status quo on campus. It was established to supply fresh produce to the university’s on-campus restaurants, dining halls, catering services, and hotel, while also teaching students and staff about flavor and sustainability. The garden utilizes aeroponic towers to produce chemical-free fruit, vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers without traditional soil growing media.

2. Local Roots Farms is an indoor vertical farming company based in Los Angeles that designs, builds, deploys, and operates controlled environment farms. Situated in shipping containers, the farms (called TerraFarms) grow with up to 99% less water, 365 days a year, pesticide and herbicide free, and with absolute consistency in production. Their plug and play form provides an innovative solution to the retail and foodservice sectors by greatly reducing supply-chain risks such as price volatility and food safety exposure.

3. The Growing Experience (TGE) is a seven-acre urban farm in North Long Beach that is located on a previously vacant lot. TGE is unique in that it is owned and operated by the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles (HACoLA), which manages 3,229 units of public and other affordable housing for the county’s Public Housing program. The urban farm utilizes traditional as well as aquaponics growing systems to help meet the needs of the community by increasing access to healthy foods.

Includes a reception with hors d’oeuvres and refreshments, PLEASE register here: uclainnovatorsMH.eventbrite.com
Award-winning writer and environmental thought leader Mary Ellen Hannibal wades into tide pools, follows hawks, and scours mountains to collect data on threatened species. She discovers the power of a heroic cast of volunteers-and the makings of what may be our last, best hope in slowing an unprecedented mass extinction.
Digging deeply, Hannibal traces today’s tech-enabled citizen science movement to its roots: the centuries-long tradition of amateur observation by writers and naturalists. Prompted by her novelist father’s sudden death, she also examines her own past-and discovers a family legacy of looking closely at the world. With unbending zeal for protecting the planet, she then turns her gaze to the wealth of species left to fight for.
Combining original reporting, meticulous research, and memoir in impassioned prose, Citizen Scientist is a literary event, a blueprint for action, and the story of how one woman rescued herself from an odyssey of loss-with a new kind of science.
Join Mary Ellen Hannibal for a presentation on Citizen Scientist followed by a discussion with:

LEED Green Associate (GA) Training (By Leading Green)
2016-11-03 18:00 - 22:00 | Boelter Hall – Penthouse, UCLA
LEED Green Associate (GA) Training

Registration: http://leadinggreen.com/ucla
Interested in getting involved in the Green Building Industry? Opportunities are plentiful in the field of sustainable design and LEED is at its forefront.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is simply a green-rating point system, or a scorecard. The more energy efficient and sustainable a building is, the more points it will earn. To date, this course and its materials have proven to be instrumental in helping over 5000 students pass their respective exam at a 100% pass rate. This course is offered at a quarter of the price and time as the competition and is geared at allowing students to graduate with letters after their name!
Just as Buildings can be LEED certified, people in the sustainable construction industry can become LEED Professionals. The LEED Green Associate (GA) credential is the only entry level sustainability designation and shows employers and clients that you have certified knowledge in the green building industry. A new LEED rating system (v4) was introduced last month and this training course is one of the few that has been updated to teach the current rating system. This course meets the exam’s eligibility requirements and the USGBC charges a $100 (reduced for students) fee for the actual exam which can be taken at any time at your nearest Prometric center.
Cost: $300 ($200 for full time students)

Biting the Hands that Feed Us: How Fewer, Smarter Laws Would Make Our Food System More Sustainable
2016-11-03 17:00 - 19:00 | Luskin School of Public Affairs, room 2355, UCLA
Please Register! Includes a reception with hors d’oeuvres and refreshments.Register here: uclainnovatorsBL.eventbrite.com
Food waste, hunger, inhumane livestock conditions, disappearing fish stocks-these are exactly the kind of issues we expect food regulations to combat. Yet, today in the United States, laws exist at all levels of government that actually make these problems worse. Baylen Linnekin argues that, too often, government rules handcuff America’s most sustainable farmers, producers, sellers, and consumers, while rewarding those whose practices are anything but sustainable.
Biting the Hands that Feed Us introduces readers to the perverse consequences of many food rules. Some of these rules constrain the sale of “ugly” fruits and vegetables, relegating bushels of tasty but misshapen carrots and strawberries to food waste. Other rules have threatened to treat manure-the lifeblood of organic fertilization-as a toxin. Still other rules prevent sharing food with the homeless and others in need. There are even rules that prohibit people from growing fruits and vegetables in their own yards.
Baylen Linnekin’s presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with other food law and policy leaders:
Paula Daniels, Co-founder and Chair, The Center for Good Food Purchasing
Allison Korn, Clinical Director, UCLA Resnick Program for Food Law & Policy
Clare Fox, Executive Director, Los Angeles Food Policy Council (Moderator)

Synopsis of book
“Food waste, hunger, inhumane livestock conditions, disappearing fish stocks—these are exactly the kind of issues we expect food regulations to combat. Yet, today in the United States, laws exist at all levels of government that actually make these problems worse. Baylen Linnekin argues that, too often, government rules handcuff America’s most sustainable farmers, producers, sellers, and consumers, while rewarding those whose practices are anything but sustainable.
Biting the Hands that Feed Us introduces readers to the perverse consequences of many food rules. Some of these rules constrain the sale of “ugly” fruits and vegetables, relegating bushels of tasty but misshapen carrots and strawberries to food waste. Other rules have threatened to treat manure—the lifeblood of organic fertilization—as a toxin. Still other rules prevent sharing food with the homeless and others in need. There are even rules that prohibit people from growing fruits and vegetables in their own yards.
Linnekin also explores what makes for a good food law—often, he explains, these emphasize good outcomes rather than rigid processes. But he urges readers to be wary of efforts to regulate our way to a greener food system, calling instead for empowerment of those working to feed us—and themselves—sustainably.”
