Food Justice: Our Food, Our Bodies (March 18 - 20) Fri Mar 18 to Sun Mar 20, 2011, Waterloo, ON
March 18, 2011 to March 20, 2011
Food Justice: Our Food, Our Bodies
A 3 day event hosted by the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) to look critically at our food system – present and future – with a focus on equity, justice, community and sustainability.
Amid a growing awareness of the importance of healthy food and sustainable food systems, join community leaders, students, activists and others for lively discussion and powerful visioning where we will explore the barriers and opportunities to making good food equal and accessible to all.
We will:
- explore the relationship between food, culture and identify
- identify structural inequalities in our food system that create barriers to growing, producing, accessing and eating healthy, safe and culturally appropriate food
- connect food justice and reproductive justice
- examine racism in the food system and build awareness and tools for creating change
- and more!
Who should come? Anyone interested in food sovereignty: community members, activists, farmers, students, policy-makers, community organizers
This entire event is Free and the location is wheelchair accessible.
