HALAL FOOD IN AN AGE OF FACTORY FARMING
Date:
Sunday 9th July 2006
Time: 2.15pm to 4.45pm
Venue: 4nd Floor, Muslim World League, 46 Goodge Street, London, W1T 4LU (entrance on the corner of Charlotte Street); Nearest Tube: Goodge Street (Northern Line)
In a climate of industrialised farming where profit comes first, what are the consequences to animal welfare and what meaning, if any, is left in the term, 'halal'? Is there any value in vegetarianism? To what extent does organic or GM resonate with Islamic teachings? And how can food be produced whilst honouring the environment and those involved in its production? Come and share your own ideas and insights in this open discussion facilitated by Dr Sonya Ahmed of LINE. There will also be an opportunity to find out more about environmental activities LINE is involved with and ways of taking part.
