SCHOOL VEGETABLE GARDEN GRANT PROGRAM
Interested schools are encouraged to submit a brief proposal that responds to the downloadable Request For Proposals no later than Friday, February 8, 2013. All proposals and questions should be directed to SlowFoodNNJ@yahoo.com.
Slow Food NNJ supports local, sustainable agriculture and the health of our land and communities. Educating children about where their food comes from, how it's grown, and how enjoyable healthy food can be fosters a deep connection that will last a life time. To that end, Slow Food NNJ supports school vegetable gardens, which provide a unique, up-close experience for children, and enhance the curriculum in subjects such as science, mathematics, art, and home economics. The experience also fosters healthy choices in the lunchroom, and at home. We are proud of the successful gardens of sixteen school garden grant awardees from 2008-2012 school years. Slow Food NNJ plans to continue supporting grantee schools and expand the program to additional schools each academic year. Grants in the amount of $500-$1000 will be given to schools or community organizations in northern NJ to support planning, building, or maintaining an organic vegetable garden. The garden is meant to provide a learning opportunity for students, and, thus, the grants will also require curriculum integration. Interested schools are encouraged to submit a brief proposal that responds to the downloadable Request For Proposals no later than Friday, February 8, 2013. All proposals and questions should be directed to SlowFoodNNJ@yahoo.com.

2:45-4:00PM GMO: IMPACT ON OUR LIVES
Michael Hansen of Consumer Union, GMO expert speaks
Michael Hansen of Consumers Union says the lack of required labeling for genetically modified corn has made it difficult to track whether or not the item has had any adverse effects on those who eat it. "There has been a doubling of food allergies in this country since 1996," he explains. "Is it connected to genetically engineered foods? Who knows when you have no labeling? That is the problem." Many folks eat sweet corn straight off the cob, which Hansen says could heighten any problems with the food: "Whatever the risks of (this technology), you would expect higher exposure eating a product such as sweet corn."
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO

What is GMO?
A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or even humans. Because this involves the transfer of genes, GMOs are also known as "transgenic" organisms. This process may be called either Genetic Engineering (GE) or Genetic Modification (GM); they are one and the same.
Currently commercialized GM crops in the U.S. include soy (94%), cotton (90%), canola (90%), sugar beets (95%), corn (88%), Hawaiian papaya (more than 50%), zucchini and yellow squash (over 24,000 acres).
Film Synopsis:
The World According to Monsanto chronicles Monsanto's controversial past, a history that combines some of the most toxic products ever sold with misleading reports, pressure tactics, collusion, and attempted corruption. They now race to genetically engineer (and patent) the world's food supply, a frightening strategy which profoundly threatens our health, environment, and economy. Exposing secret documents with first-hand accounts by victims, scientists, and politicians, this film exposes why Monsanto has become the world's poster child for malignant corporate influence in government and technology.
