The food crisis is still lurking, even in Vancouver. I sat down with Yona Sipos, member of the Vancouver Food Policy Council (VFCP) for an update on the group’s initiatives.
‘Bees’, ‘chicken’ and ‘Vancouver’, three words put together in the same sentence. Is that possible? For Yona Sipos, it’s straightforward: “Bees are legal under certain guidelines. Chickens are on the table for discussion in Vancouver”. Yona Sipos is one of twenty members of a special council that, since 2004, tackles important food initiatives in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland: the Vancouver Food Policy Council (VFPC).
