Please join us for a potluck dinner and presentations about food justice in our society, followed by informal discussions with members of our community.
No one should have to go hungry--especially those who labour to feed humanity.
Whether or not we have personally experienced hunger, all of us at coFood have stories to share about witnessing food injustice in the world. We know there is more to the story than the intersections between hunger and poverty, and that the question Who is responsible? too often goes unanswered. We understand that food injustice affects everyone, even those who dont see it firsthand and those who choose not to.
We at coFood are endeavouring to educate ourselves and our peers by learning from folks with experience and insight to share. We choose to take responsibility by inquiring into food justice, to do the work of organizing and empowering ourselves, and to build relationships with food communities around us. By working co-operatively, we aim to resist the oppression of economic and political systems that perpetuate food injustice.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether or not you can contribute food or purchase a ticket. Please let us know if you will bring a dish to share, or just your appetite!
Presenters
Raagini Appadurai / Check Your Head
Zsuzsi Fodor / Vancouver Food Policy Council / Greater Vancouver Food Bank
Elise Barber / Vancouver Neighbourhood Food Networks
beyond the business card
In the spirit of getting to know one another, we'll go beyond the business card by sharing everyone's contact information after the event. We hope this will allow more freedom for people to explore genuine connections in the time we have together at coFood events, and beyond.
collaboration + food
coFood is a community of food projects and inspiring changemakers. We host monthly dinners and community actions that address important questions about building resilient local food systems.
