SUMMARY:Seedstock 'Future of Food - Urban Ag Field Trip'
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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 \nThe Future of Food – Urban Ag Field Trip in Los Angeles; Register now before it sells out! \n\nScheduled Stops on the Field Trip include: \n1. 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. \n \n2. 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. \n \n3. 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. \n \nTo purchase early bird tickets\, please visit: http://seedstockurbanag.eventbrite.com \nA farm-to-fork lunch hosted by Local Roots Farms featuring lettuce grown on site in the company’s TerraFarms will be provided by sponsor:\nSelect Confirmed Speakers include: \nRachel Surls – Sustainable Food Systems Advisor for UC Cooperative Extension and co-author of the book ‘From Cows to Concrete: The Rise and Fall of Farming in Los Angeles’.\nErik Oberholtzer – Co-founder and CEO of Tender Greens\nChef Eric Ernest – Executive Chef of USC Hospitality\nFor sponsorship opportunities\, please send inquiries to: sponsor@seedstock.com

SUMMARY:Luskin Innovators Speaker Series: What Makes a Great City featuring Alexander Garvin
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFor 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. \nTo 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.
