You are invited to join a province-wide online public engagement conference that will focus on practical details and innovative models for growing food that is good for us and for our environment. People who grow and gather food at the household, community and commercial level will help us define actions needed to rebuild a sustainable food system. We will also examine how food is distributed and shared to define steps needed to create food justice in our province.
In this time of climate crisis and food insecurity, we need to adapt and change our food production and food sharing in this province to restore ecological balance and health in our communities. This online conference has been organized by Food Producers Forum, with support from the Faculty of Medicine and the Office of Public Engagement, Memorial University, to bring people together to identify how we can do this.
This three-day event will consist of an introductory plenary, followed by five thematic seminars and four forums to focus on actions we can take to create a sustainable food system. In each session, we will be gathering ideas and recommendations for sustainable food production in our province. The conference will wrap up with a general meeting to confirm actions needed to restore capacity for local food production and sharing.
