AMERICA'S ROLE IN THE WORLD:
THE FUTURE OF FOOD
By the People: America in the World, a new initiative
of MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, aims to energize and
enhance the national conversation on America's role
in the world through a series of national and local
broadcasts and events that demonstrate the relevance
of foreign policy issues to local concerns. The project
includes three national PBS specials, two cycles of
local programming to be produced by PBS stations in
cooperation with community organizations, national and
local forums for civic dialogue, and an interactive
web site.
On Tuesday, May 13 from 5:00-7:00 pm we will hold a
moderated discussion forum that will be open to all
conference attendees. Together we will examine a variety
of different approaches to America’s role in feeding
the world in a way that will help us all to grapple
with our national and personal values. On Thursday,
May 15 from 3:30-5:30 pm we will convene a panel of
topical experts to address questions and concerns that
arise from the discussion forum. Both events will be
videotaped by KVIE, as part of their extended By The
People programming. Further information is available
at www.kvie.org/bythepeople.
KVIE-TV 6 has partnered with UC Davis, the state library
system and a variety of nonprofit community organizations
to engage the community in a dialogue about the effect
of American food aid, trade policies and biotech exports
on how the country is perceived abroad.
