This conference is FREE with a donation of a canned good or other nonperishable item is requested.
LUNCH AND CHILDCARE PROVIDED....
Who's hungry in Battle Creek? What are the best food-related businesses to start here? How can I get my kid
to eat more healthy?
Those questions and others will be addressed at
"Good Food Matters: Come to the Table!"
The event is an informative yet informal look at food issues affecting the Battle Creek region. The goal is to learn about the food system and help energize residents around the food movement.
Renowned food system activist Malik Yakini is serving up generous helpings of food for thought during his keynote address when Good Food BC hosts its 2nd annual food conference.
Good Food Battle Creek is comprised of residents and organizations who share passion and interest in issues related to food justice and strengthening local food systems.
A central focus of the conference is the Battle Creek Community Food Assessment (CFA) and focus groups conducted. Issues of food access for all residents will also be discussed, as well as other important food work happening across the community. And it's more than about digging in the dirt.
Detroit food activist Malik Yakini, who is delivering the keynote address, is Executive Director of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network. Yakini will provide expert understanding into how America's food system is and isn't working and why that's important.
In addition to the workshops, lectures and lunch, students from the Calhoun Area Career Center culinary program are providing delightful cooking demonstrations and delicious samples.
