The Berkeley Food Institute presents The Food Exchange, a series designed to foster faculty and student engagement and cross-disciplinary thinking, and to become a leading public forum for the exchange of ideas about the food system. The Food Exchange engages leading national and global experts from off-campus with eminent UC Berkeley faculty in unique conversations about topics that are highly relevant for transitioning to a more diverse, just, resilient, and healthy food system.
The first Food Exchange on September 23, 2013 features a forum moderated by Mark Schapiro, a correspondent for the Center for Investigative Reporting and an affiliate of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
The panel features:
Miguel Altieri, Professor, Environmental Science Policy & Management, CNR, UC Berkeley. Altieri is one of the leading global experts on agroecology, food sovereignty, and sustainable agriculture in Latin America.
Maximilian Auffhammer, Professor, Agricultural & Resource Economics, CNR, UC Berkeley. Auffhammer is known for his expertise in environmental and resource economics, energy economics, and applied econometrics.

CS 61A The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Instructor Brian Harvey
Spring 2008
Introduction to programming and computer science. This course exposes students to techniques of abstraction at several levels: (a) within a programming language, using higher-order functions, manifest types, data-directed programming, and message-passing; (b) between programming languages, using functional and rule-based languages as examples. It also relates these techniques to the practical problems of implementation of languages and algorithms on a von Neumann machine. There are several significant programming projects, programmed in a dialect of the LISP language.
