29] --
On Wed., May 29
from 12:15 to 1:45 PM, What is the Cost of a Healthy Diet? This event is
hosted by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), 1201 I
St., WDC 20005. Lunch will be available starting at 11:45 AM. The new
Price Indexes Reveal Changes in Affordability of Nutritious Foods."
Interventions and innovation can lower the price of individual foods, but
healthy eating depends on access to a mix of foods from diverse sources. How
has the overall cost of meeting dietary needs changed over time worldwide, and
in Africa and South Asia specifically? What determines the cost of a healthy
diet? And how does affordability affect dietary intake and health status in
different locales?
To answer these
questions, Changing Access to Nutritious Diets in Africa and South Asia (CANDASA),
a Tufts-IFPRI project funded by UKAid and the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation, has been using new food price indexes that account for food
substitutions to meet nutritional needs to evaluate #foodsystems all over the
world, including in Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Malawi, and Tanzania. This
seminar will present the outcomes of CANDASA’s work to date, with a panel
discussion featuring field researchers from each country to discuss the local
and global implications of their results. Get tickets directly on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/events/2302424096490262/.

35] – On Wed., May 29 from 7 to 9 PM, Lawrence Lanahan
presents "The Lines Between Us" at Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse,
1225 Cathedral St., Baltimore 21201. Tickets are at withfriends.co.
Lanahan will be in conversation with Lisa Snowden-McCray of the Baltimore
Beat! Mark Lange and Nicole Smith have never met, but if they make the
moves they are contemplating—Mark, a white suburbanite, to West Baltimore, and
Nicole, a black woman from a poor city neighborhood, to a prosperous suburb—it
will defy the way the Baltimore region has been programmed for a century. It is
one region, but separate worlds. And it was designed to be that way.
In this deeply
reported, revelatory story, duPont Award–winning journalist Lawrence Lanahan
chronicles how the region became so highly segregated and why its fault lines
persist today. Mark and Nicole personify the enormous disparities in access to
safe housing, educational opportunities, and decent jobs. As they eventually
pack up their lives and change places, bold advocates and activists—in the
courts and in the streets—struggle to figure out what it will take to save our
cities and communities: Put money into poor, segregated neighborhoods? Make it
possible for families to move into areas with more opportunity? See https://www.facebook.com/events/861474574200454/.
