Earth Week: Feeding the Globe Sustainably in the Twenty-First Century
April 22 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
While farming is fundamental to human existence, its practice poses the greatest threat to Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems. Growing plants and raising animals domesticated nearly 10,000 years ago displaces wildlife and disrupts critical Earth processes. This occurs even though we have improved our understanding of how these organisms function, and how to manage them. Jerry Glover will discuss innovations to improve current agricultural practices and opportunities to change food production models so they can meet the needs of an increasingly hungry human population without causing negative environmental effects.

The first and only building in the United States designed by the 20th Century architect Le Corbusier sits among some of the oldest buildings that date back to before the United States was organized. Completed in 1963, the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts is located on Harvard University s campus. Designed in conjunction with Chilean architect Guillermo Jullian de la Fuentes and Josep Lluis Sert - dean of Harvard s GSD at the time, the Carpenter Center stands out among the traditional architectural styles of Harvard Yard as a combination of Le Corbusier s earlier modernist works.
