Attend the Dinner/Buy a Table/Support CEAC

The inaugural CEAC Leadership Dinner - "Secure, Sustaining & Sensational CEA!"<http://ceac.arizona.edu/secure-sustaining-sensational-cea-dinner> - will bring together - at one of the key sites for demonstrating Tucson as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy - fresh local harvest of food to make examples of our region's culinary histories, celebrating CEA and the staple it is becoming for farm-to-table trends.

Chef Janos Wilder and his outstanding Carriage House culinary team have created a multi-course menu that is sure to be a memorable gastronomic feast.

Adding to the momentous festivities will be the commentary of the renowned UA faculty, Drs. Andrew Weil, (Founder, University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine) and Joaquin Ruiz (UofA VP for Innovation & Executive Dean College of Science), sharing their visions of how CEA impacts the future of food quality, availability, nutrition, and peoples' health.

The dinner is the concluding event of the UofA-CEAC's Annual Greenhouse Short Course (April 3 - 6), which many leaders from the worldwide CEA industry will attend.  The dinner is designed to advance CEA education and research programs of CEAC to continue the important work of assuring secure, sustaining and sensational foods and practices to feed the region, our nation, and the planet.  For information on how CEAC is securing food sources, see the recent article in Arizona Daily Star.<http://tucson.com/news/science/university-of-arizona-grad-grows-million-heads-of-lettuce-without/article_237c6eee-9714-51d2-93f2-12f2bf51ec73.html>
