Fourth Annual Food Town Hall Meeting Scheduled
Location of Bean Cycle
For the 4th year in a row, The Bean Cycle/Matter Bookstore is hosting a Food Town Hall meeting, led this year by The Growing Project. The purpose of this event is to inform, inspire, and educate about issues associated with food in our community. Anyone involved in growing or producing food in Northern Colorado, or with social justice issues surrounding food, is encouraged to attend and present their projects, ideas, and goals to the community.
After community presentations and a general Q&A, we will have three break-out sessions so people can network and learn more about the issues they are most concerned with.
The Break-Out Sessions are as follows:
- Policy
Part of this break-out session will focus on the potential formation of a food and agriculture coalition, led by The Growing Project.
- Education & PSD
This break-out session will focus on changes within the Poudre School District Food System.
- Farmers, Growers, Producers
This break-out session will allow the public to network and interact with the people who grow food in our region.
When: February 21st, 2012, 6:30 pm – 9pm
Last year a child of about eight or nine brought the house down by asking how kids could be encouraged to eat carrots instead of hamburgers at school. Story here.
Beth Kopp of Matter Daily blog wrote the best story about last year’s Food Town Hall so instead of trying to duplicate that I just put in a link to that. The Matter Daily blog is now history, by the way.
