Subject: Community Food Security Dialogue : March 15th Rescheduled from
Feb.2, 2011

 

Sorry for cross posting.

 

Mark your calendars for the Community Food Security(CFS) Dialogue : 
"Tilling the Soil of Community".  

 

History to this meeting:
Our last meeting was canceled due to a hazardous weather forecast on Feb.
2nd, 2011. At the  December 8th, 2010 CFS meeting 80 + community members
attended. During the meeting  we gathered together in smaller groups for 45
minutes. Each group/table addressed the question " What would a healthy food
system look like that worked for everyone?" and each group shared thoughts,
concerns and ideas  with the larger group. The responses addressed most
aspects of the food system from production to consumption and recycling (
compost). Topics included education, health awareness, access, land
acquisition, transportation, school food and many more. These notes will be
available on March 15th.

 

A local food system that is equitable is truly the food system that is
sustainable...meeting the need for healthy food at all times for everyone. 

 

Please invite those you know are interested in supporting a healthy local
food system that is equitable.

*Child care will be provided. If you will be needing childcare please reply
by email or call 607-272-2292 ext. 157. This will help in planning for
enough care providers and children activities.

*Light snacks and beverages will also be provided.
