Attention residents of Newfoundland and Labrador! Are you interested in growing and gathering your own food and building a sustainable food system?
Food Producers Forum is inviting you to a province-wide public engagement conference focused on practical details and innovative models for growing food that is not only good for ourselves but for our environment.
The online conference will take place May 5th to 7th, 2022, to define steps needed to create food justice in Newfoundland and Labrador.
In a time of climate crises and food insecurity, Food Producers Forum aims to adapt and change food production and food sharing within the province to restore ecological balance and health in communities.
This three-day event will consist of an introductory plenary, followed by five thematic seminars and four forums to focus on actions to create a sustainable food system. The conference will wrap up with a general meeting to confirm actions needed to restore capacity for local food production and sharing.
Organized by Food Producers Forum, the three-day conference is supported by the Faculty of Medicine and the Office of Public Engagement of Memorial University.
The event is free of charge however registration is required.
