FOOD JUSTICE
Where does our food come from and why does it matter? Learn how the global food system impacts the environment, our health, and the quality of life of people around the world.
This workshop addresses the globalization of the food industry and how food-related policies affect the lives of both food producers and us as consumers! Participants will learn how to take steps towards creating food justice in their communities.
Learning Outcomes
- To understand how the North American food system works.
- To define what food sovereignty is.
- To increase awareness of how your food choices can be part of positive social and environmental change around the world.
- To show examples of how we can take action by changing our food choices and getting involved in community initiatives.
Join us for a series of 3 FREE workshops for youth ages 13-24. Each workshop will include action planning and connect youth participants with services, resources and opportunities to get involved in their community.
