Food Secure Vancouver Forum nearly full

Vancouver Food Policy Council Hosts Food Security Forum The Vancouver Food Policy Council, an advisory committee to Vancouver City Council, is hosting a packed forum on Thursday, December 3 titled “Food Secure Vancouver in a Changing World – Proactive Planning for Pending Changes.” The forum is being held at Langara College from 5:30-9:30 pm. The forum is part of the second phase of the Food Secure Vancouver Study being conducted by the Vancouver Food Policy Council, a two-year research effort that will be the largest study of food security ever done in Vancouver. Participants at the forum will discuss: How can we ensure that there are farmers and farmland for future production needs? How can we meet the twin challenges of peak oil and climate change on our local food system? How can we shift to greater food resiliency? The Forum is nearly full, with representatives from all aspects of Vancouver's policy and food sectors. If you want to be on the waiting list, email info@vancouverfoodpolicycouncil.ca.
