Slow Food USA, a national non-profit dedicated to creating a world where the food we eat is good for us, good for farmers and workers, and good for the planet, recently announced that it is joining forces with Slow Food International to build a thousand gardens in Africa. A Thousand Gardens in Africa is part of a global initiative to bring the Slow Food network together to ensure African food security, as well as to raise awareness of native plant varieties and medicinal herbs. The community and school plots are located across the continent, particularly in places that have become dependent on foreign aid and imported commodities.

A Thousand Gardens in Africa has raised funding for 567 gardens to date through a worldwide constituency and it is starting to bolster local economies in 25 countries from Egypt to South Africa. The project is community-driven and based on a training-of-trainers model under the guidance of Slow Food coordinators and horticulturists. Communities have to apply for and want to maintain the gardens themselves. Improving farmer autonomy makes certain that knowledge is passed down for future seasons, and helps farmers grow food for their communities rather than for export at the expense of their own nourishment. Through a more sustainable use of soil and water, and a safeguarding of traditional recipes, villages are also gaining a sense of pride for the natural resources that they share and that they want to protect by not using harmful chemicals.

The movement towards a more sustainable approach to agriculture is happening worldwide. In the U.S., consciousness is increasing, as evidenced by a number of Slow Food USA's recent projects. This year alone, the volunteer-run organization engaged more than 150,000 children in school food and garden programs. In Florida, Slow Food Miami planted 63 gardens in 44 days; and in Colorado, Slow Food Denver's Seed to Table program organized over 900 parents and teachers to bring gardens and real food to cafeterias in more than 60 percent of the city's public schools.

"Slow Food volunteers are working to transform food and farming nationwide. Now, they're stepping up to support their colleagues in Africa who are working to do the same," said Josh Viertel, president of Slow Food USA. "Historically, in the U.S., we've fought global hunger by growing cheap grain and dumping it on foreign markets. In the end, we've just displaced farmers in developing countries, and created more poverty and hunger. We need solutions that give people the resources they need to feed themselves. We are helping to build A Thousand Gardens in Africa that prove it's possible."

"By supporting A Thousand Gardens in Africa, one isn't just supplying the materials necessary to set up a garden, and guaranteeing a daily supply of fresh and healthy food to local populations, they're encouraging young people to be farmers. And that's a very special thing," said Paolo di Croce, executive director of Slow Food International. "It's an ambitious project but every donation - whether financial or time - goes a long way."

Each garden costs approximately $1,300 to build, and a donation of any amount supports the initiative. All donations are tax-deductible.

Actor, director, producer Tony Goldwyn likes to mix things up. He makes his network series debut in Shonda Rhimes' latest project for ABC, Scandal, as the President, opposite crisis manager Kerry Washington. Previously Goldwyn was seen on the big screen in CBS Films' remake of The Mechanic, with Jason Statham, and starring on Broadway in the revival of the hit musical Promises, Promises. His latest feature directorial effort, Conviction, starring Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell, won Best Film at the Boston Film Festival and a Freedom of Expression Award from the National Board of Review.

Goldwyn made an auspicious directorial debut with A Walk on the Moon, starring Diane Lane and Viggo Mortensen. The film received universal praise from critics and won a National Board of Review Award for Excellence in Independent Filmmaking. Goldwyn had read Pamela Gray's script five years earlier, shepherding it through multiple drafts until Dustin Hoffman joined as a producer and got the project financed. Coincidentally when Gray originally wrote the screenplay as her Master's thesis at UCLA Film School, she won the Samuel Goldwyn Writing Award, an honor established by Goldwyn's paternal grandfather, the legendary film producer.

Additional feature directorial credits include The Last Kiss, based on Gabriele Muccino's L'Ultimo Bacio, which won Best Director at the Boston Film Festival, and the romantic comedy Someone Like You. On the small screen Goldwyn has helmed such prestigious shows as Justified, Damages, Dexter, The L Word, Law & Order, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and Without a Trace.

As an actor, Goldwyn first caught audiences' attention with his portrayal of the villain in the box office smash, Ghost. He went on to appear The Pelican Brief with Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington, Kiss The Girls, Oliver Stone's Nixon, The Substance of Fire, The Last Samurai, opposite Tom Cruise, and the recent remake of Wes Craven's classic, The Last House on the Left. He was also heard as the title voice in Disney's animated featureTarzan. His television acting credits include The Good Wife, Dexter, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Without a Trace, The L Word, the HBO Mini-Series From the Earth to the Moon, Frasier, Murphy Brown and Designing Women, where he touchingly portrayed the first AIDS victim on a primetime series.

Goldwyn began his acting career on the stage, spending seven seasons at the Williamstown Theater Festival. His New York theater credits include The Water's Edge at the 2nd Stage Theater, The Dying Gaul at the Vineyard Theater, Holiday at The Circle in the Square, opposite Laura Linney, Spike Heels with Kevin Bacon at 2nd Stage, The Sum of Us at the Cherry Lane Theater, for which he earned an Obie Award, and Digby at the Manhattan Theater Club.

Oxford University psychologist Charles Spence studies human senses and how they interact.
In recent studies, he had people smell wines and sample chocolate, and then match the different aromas and flavors to different musical sounds. He found that people tend to associate sweet tastes with high-pitched notes and the sounds of a piano. People match bitter flavors with low notes and brass instruments.
Spence wondered if he could put his findings to use in reverse. Could he use music to influence what people smell or taste?
To find out, he conducted another study. He had volunteers eat several pieces of toffee while listening to music. One soundscape was composed of "sweet" sounds, the other of "bitter" sounds.
Spence asked the volunteers to rate the sweetness or bitterness of each piece of toffee. All of the toffee was the same, but the volunteers perceived the pieces differently.
"We were significantly able to change the rating of the bitterness and sweetness of the food depending on the sound they were listening to," Spence said.
Daphne Maurer, a developmental psychologist at McMaster University in Canada, said the results illustrate an important fact about how we experience the world.
"Our senses are not as separate as we used to believe," she said.
Maurer is an expert on a rare condition called synesthesia, which causes a person's senses to overlap in unusual ways. For example, people with synesthesia might see different colors when listening to different musical notes.
Maurer said the new study of music and taste suggests that we all have a touch of synesthesia, though "it rarely influences our conscious perception."
It may influence our sub-conscious perceptions, however.
James Petrie, a chef at the Fat Duck, the British restaurant that made the toffee for Spence's experiment, said he was fascinated by the study results, but isn't surprised that sound influences taste.
"We do have one dish on the menu where we use sound," Petri said.
It's a dish called the Sound of the Sea. It consists of edible sand made of tapioca and miso oil, sashimi, and edible foam made of seaweed stock.
"We serve [it] with an iPod that has the sound of the seaside, with the waves lapping onto the shore and with a seagull flying above," he said.
Petrie says when diners eat that dish while listening to the sound, they say it makes the food taste fresher. He's even seen diners cry. They tell him the sound evokes not only flavors, but memories of time spent by the sea.

Carol Chong is the Director of Food and Menu Management for Miami-Dade County Public Schools.

As America's schools welcome students from a wider range of cultural backgrounds, school cafeterias have introduced new ethnic dishes that cater to students' diversity and allow kids to sample nutritious foods from around the world.
A recent survey from the School Nutrition Association shows a growing prevalence of ethnic food choices in school cafeterias, with most schools offering Mexican and Asian dishes, and many experimenting with Middle Eastern, Greek, Kosher/Halal and Indian foods.
Just last month, students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools were invited to choose from Teriyaki Chicken with Lo Mein Noodles; Curry Chicken Salad; Black Beans & Rice Bowls and Cuban-style Roast Pork. The district offers a wide range of Hispanic dishes throughout the year, including Arroz Con Pollo and Picadillo with Rice and Plantains.
Ethnic recipes provide schools with delicious ways to meet new nutrition standards requiring cafeterias to serve a wider range of vegetables. Wayzata Public Schools' (Minnesota) Spicy Lemon Chicken Stir Fry offers both taste appeal and a rainbow of produce with broccoli, carrot strips, green beans, crisp water chestnuts, onions and julienned red bell pepper stir-fried and tossed with white meat chicken and a spicy Kung Pao-inspired glaze.
