HOW FOOD SECURE IS VANCOUVER?
Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Unitarian Church Hall at 49th & Oak St.
6:00 – 9:30 PM
The Forum will present new research and hold a “world café” dialogue about present conditions and major benchmarks of food security in Vancouver.
The research includes:
1) A consultant’s report pulling together the big picture of current and projected food production, consumption, distribution, sustainability, constraints, and opportunities.
2) The results of a food security environmental scan in Vancouver’s twenty-three neighbourhoods conducted in partnership with the UBC Land & Food System Faculty.
This is Phase 1 of a major research effort which will be completed in January 2010. When combined with other work being conducted in the community, it will be the largest study of food security ever done in Vancouver.
