Brooklyn Politics of Food Conference: Global Crisis, Local Action
2009-05-02 
PS 321 & John Jay High School in Park Slope
 Brooklyn

Grassroots Communities Organize For A Healthy, Environmentally Sustainable, and Socially Just Food System
Free and Open to the Public

Co-sponsored by the Park Slope Food Coop (PSFC) and the Caribbean Women’s Health Association (CWHA), this one-day, Brooklyn-wide conference will educate Brooklynites about what we at the grass roots can do to address our broken global food system. Why do we have food shortages and skyrocketing prices? How are high rates of obesity and diabetes related to cheap prices for corn, sugar, and other subsidized commodities produced by agribusiness and added to our food by big food manufac¬turers? We’ll learn how the food system impacts social justice, human health, and environ¬mental sustainability. We’ll also discover local, regional, national, and inter¬national organizations working to change the system by providing healthy, environ¬mentally sustainable food and protecting those who produce it.

Our goals are:
• Educate the larger Brooklyn community on food as a critical issue for both present and future
• Strengthen existing organizations working on food issues
• Expand community participation and develop networks within and across neighborhoods
• Create greater awareness and unity on these issues, and educate and activate elected officials

We invite you to help us gather partners, participants, and funders. We expect up to 1,000 participants from every Brooklyn neighborhood and 150 partner community organizations.
