The food system takes a complex journey from farms, ranches and waterways to our plates…This route, to our plates, is influenced by the decisions of businesses, scientists, policy makers and consumers. The people, activities, inputs, outputs, and outcomes involved in getting [our] meals on to [our] plates are all part of the food system. - Berry, W. The Food System

Historically, our food system created a sense of community by nurturing the body, mind and soul. Over the years our food system had a vital role connecting communities with dignity and respect to foods. However, due to the commercialization of our food system, many communities have lost access to healthy, culturally appropriate foods.

Join us on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, for the first part of our food justice webinar series, ‘Changing the Paradigm: Justice in the Community Food System for Growers, Suppliers and Consumers.' This webinar session will look at the problems in the food system. A second webinar will be held on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 addressing proposed solutions.
