What's for Dinner? with Jill Griffiths
Never before has so much food been produced by so few people to feed so many. Never before have Australian consumers been so disconnected from their food production, yet so interested in how it is done. How do we eat in a way that nourishes us and does least harm to the environment?
Join author Jill Griffiths at the City of Vincent library on 23 October for a discussion about her book What’s for Dinner? and the food we eat.
What’s for Dinner? delves into the way our food is grown and our responsibilities as eaters. Weaving together science, history and lived experience, What’s for Dinner? takes readers on a journey to meet the plants, animals and people who put the food on our plates. It was short-listed for the WA Premier’s Book of the Year award in 2024.
