From Farm to Fork: The Environmental Impacts of Animal Agriculture

Did you know that animal farming is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than transportation?

Please join us for a multimedia presentation by Gowri Koneswaran, Esq., Director of Animal Agricultural Impacts at the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). She will reveal the true impact of factory farming on the environment, our rural communities, and the animals that live in the farms. Through this eye-opening exploration, Gowri will share positive, practical ways for regular people to make a difference for our planet and its inhabitants.

An expert in her field, Gowri's work focuses on spotlighting, addressing, and mitigating the environmental and human impacts of industrial animal agriculture. She engages nonprofit organizations and individuals from several sectors - environment, worker safety, consumer advocacy, organic and sustainable agriculture - and helps develop intersections to more efficiently and effectively combat factory farms. Gowri has authored articles in such peer-reviewed journals as Environmental Health Perspectives and has recently completed a resource guide for HSUS on factory farming in the United States. She received her law degree from the University of Arizona.

This is a free event, open to the public. It will be followed by a free, catered reception and a chance to interact one-on-one with Gowri.

Time: Wednesday, April 9, at 7 p.m.
Location: Bell Museum of Natural History, Auditorium, Minneapolis
