To celebrate this year’s Fair-Trade fortnight, Chapter is presenting a series of unique events and distinguished guests. We kick off on Friday 19 February with a screening of Food Inc, the Oscar nominated documentary, followed by a special panel discussion featuring the following special guests; Chaired by: Steve Garrett (Director Riverside Community Market Association) Simon Michaels (F3 and Wales Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative) Roberta Sonnino (Cardiff University-food writer and researcher) Katie Jones (Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens) Peter Segger (Soil Association).
Also attending the event are a selection of local fair-trade stockists who’ll be providing a range of ethically sourced goods from around the world. This is an exceptional opportunity to engage with some of Wales’ most influential food experts.
Early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. Chapter is a proud supporter of Fair-trade Fortnight and we’ve already begun our contribution to this year’s Big Swap. Why not come join us in our café for a cup of fair-trade coffee and see how you can help make a difference.
Food Inc. USA/2009/94 mins/PG. Dir: Robert Kenner. With Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser. This eye-opening documentary, featuring Fast Food Nation’s Eric Schlosser, will convince you to never look at the food on your plate in the same way again. Our UK Chefs have recently been warning us of the pitfalls of modern meat farming but Food, Inc goes much further. It looks at how the international food industry puts profit before the safety of workers, the livelihood of the farmers, the environment and consumer health. Exploring the bigger-breasted chicken, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean and tomatoes that won’t go bad, this is one of the US highest grossing independent films of the year.
