Toronto is Canada's largest
community food security
organization. It works to empower
individuals, families and communities
through food-based initiatives at the
neighbourhood level, while advocating
for the broader public policies needed
to ensure that everyone has adequateaccess to sustainably produced, good
healthy food. Working "from field to
table," they focus on the entire system
that puts food on our tables: from the
growing, processing and distribution of
food to its purchasing, cooking and
consumption. Go to http://
www.foodshare.net to learn more.
Through presentations and small group
discussions we will spark our
imagination about what could be
possible in Edmonton in terms of
strengthening the local food system
and people's access to healthy food. We
will also learn some of FoodShares story
in supporting and developing
community based initiatives leading tobetter access to healthy food and begin
to network with others interested in
moving forward. We will explore and
experience some of the toolsandstrategies used and lessons learned by
FoodShare in their work around
community driven and asset based
action initiatives.
