Food: A Grassroots Future? Dates / Times 2017-01-26 to 2017-01-26 (16:30 to 18:30) Organization University of Calgary Type Single Day Community 124 University Gate NWCalgary, ABT2N 1N4 403.220.5865 We all eat food and have a vested interest in it, but do we fully understand the costs and challenges associated with our consumption? As consumers, we are increasingly taking an active interest in where our food comes from and how that impacts the environment, our communities and our health. Local urban and peri-urban agriculture production is resurging, but how does this fit into our global food system and what are the challenges in securing a sustainable food system in our city and beyond? Join our panel of experts for a roundtable discussion that explores the future of food over the next 20 years in Calgary and beyond. Our speakers will address a variety of issues around food in southern Alberta, and how they fit into the global food system, including; urban agriculture, food security, food regulations, sustainable dining.
