Oct. 9, 2008 - Hastings College to air World Food Day teleconference
Hastings College’s HCTV will air the 25th annual World Food Day teleconference, “Choices for a Warm and Hungry Planet,” Thursday, Oct. 16, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Charter Cable subscribers in Hastings will be able to watch the live teleconference on Channel 6.
The three-hour program, broadcast live from Washington, D.C., will consider the deadly mix of high world food prices and mounting climate-change upheaval that afflicts millions of poor people in developing countries.
Three panel members will examine the food and weather crisis and what Americans can do about it. Panel members include: Dr. Nancy Birdsall, founding president of the Center for Global Development; Dr. Siwa Msangi, an award-winning research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington, D.C.; and Mark Ritchie, Minnesota Secretary of State and former president of the Minnesota-based Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.
The teleconference will include the showing of a documentary film on global warming, and the third hour will afford viewers at Hastings College the opportunity to send in questions to panelists.
The teleconference is sponsored by the U.S. National Committee for World Food Day, a coalition of 450 private voluntary organizations.
For more information, contact Sharon Behl Brooks, Hastings College associate professor of communication arts and English, at (402) 461-7367.
