Welcome to the Vancouver Food Policy Council's Blog

My name is Trish Kelly, I'm the co-chair and a member of the Vancouver Food Policy Council.

We hope that this blog will help you understand what the VFPC is up to.

After each Food Policy Council meeting, I will post an entry about the most exciting parts of the meeting.

The next VFPC meeting is Wednesday November 12th at 6pm. As our usual meeting room at City Hall is booked, we're meeting at the Social Planning office.

This month's meeting, we're seeing a presentation by members of Environmental Youth Alliance www.eya.ca, and a presentation from Alex Chisholm on Urban Agriculture. VFOC members will report back on various projects including our research into Backyard Chickens, Biofuels and their impact on food security, and our upcoming food security forum.
