The Future of the Food Sector

January was a busy month for food system-related events, and it looks like February will be no different. Food Forward has organized a panel discussion featuring four young leaders within the food and agricultural sectors:

• Tracy Philippi, Chair, Toronto Youth Food Policy Council
• Jason Qu, Campus Agriculture Project, University of Toronto
• Jodi Callan, Senior Environmental Planner, City of Toronto
• Ian Hepburn-Aley, Urban Agriculture and Community Food Facilitator, FoodShare

The forum will cover topics such as urban agriculture, local sustainable food procurement, food literacy, and municipal policy, and the discussion will highlight some of the programs and policies currently in development that will be shaping the food system in the future.

If you work in or are interested in food and agriculture, health and environment, or planning and policy, don't miss this event coming up on Tuesday, February 22nd, between 9:30 and 11:30 am, located in room 204 at Deer Park Library (40 St. Clair Ave E). To register, contribute $35 on Food Forward's Get Involved page or become a monthly supporter. Fair trade and local refreshments will be provided. View the event page for more details.
