The industrial food system causes significant harm to human and ecological health. It must transform if we are to sustain life for future generations. The solutions are creative, regenerative and rooted in dignity, care and community connectivity.
The purpose of Community Solutions to Advance a Sustainable Food System
is to build community support around local food systems change and raise awareness of the Greenwich initiatives necessary to strengthen the regional
food economy. Each initiative strives for food security and human and ecological health.
Moderated by Ali Ghiorse, co-director of Greenwich Food Alliance and founder of The Foodshed Network, the panel discussion will enhance community understanding of:
- Food system work happening in Greenwich,
- Context around the industrial food system,
- Each initiative's role in leading change,
- Connectivity between initiatives,
- How the community can promote and participate
Panelists will highlight the collaborations between their respective initiatives: noting the ways they intersect and harmonize towards a shared goal. Participants will be empowered with tangible and accessible actions to mend the local and regional food system. Please join us!
