The 2012 Greening Our Community Series presents “For Cod and Country” with Barton Seaver, chef, author, and National Geographic Fellow, who will speak about his mission to restore our relationships with the ocean, the land, and each other — through dinner. He believes that food is a crucial way for us to connect with the ecosystems, people and cultures of our world. Seaver will explore these themes through the healthful, planet-friendly recipes from his book, For Cod and Country, as well as his role as host of both the National Geographic web series “Cook-Wise” and the three-part Ovation TV series “In Search of Food.”

Monday, Feb. 27, at 7:00pm at the Druker Auditorium in the Newton Free Library. More details on the library’s website.
