Vancouver is surrounded by some of the world’s most productive farmland, yet 76% of our food comes from outside British Columbia. This reliance on imported food increases our ecological footprint and inhibits our ability to respond to disaster. The participants of Simon Fraser University’s Dialogue Program, in association with Local Food
First, have investigated the possibility of creating a central distribution, research, and educational centre for local food in
Vancouver.
On Tuesday June 16th, we invite you to a presentation of our research, followed by a public dialogue on the topic of food security, justice, and sustainability.
Please RSVP to ugsid.localfood@gmail.com by noon on Wednesday, June 10. Feel free to bring your organization’s promotional materials for our display table, and to invite anyone you know that might be interested in attending.
