\u201cFarm to Globe: Transforming Our Food Systems\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

About this Webinar Series:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This summer, the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at the UBC Farm, generously sponsored by\u00a0RBC Royal Bank<\/a>, and in partnership with the UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems and the BC Food Web, is presenting the second season of our Future of Food webinar series: \u201cFarm to Globe: Transforming Our Food Systems\u201d.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s series will focus on what has become readily apparent not only to our food systems experts, but to the general public \u2013 that our food systems need fixing. We\u2019ll be exploring the most pressing issues our food systems face today, everything from how restaurants have had to change and adapt during the pandemic, the biodiversity crisis, food school programs as an avenue to address food insecurity, and so much more! We\u2019ll also be focusing on the social and racial inequalities that are present in and exacerbated by all of these issues. Our speakers will be sharing action items and takeaway points to inspire our community to create tangible change.<\/p>\n

Join us for discussions that we hope will drive action and discover what steps we need to take to transform our food systems \u2013 from farm to globe.<\/p>\n

Date and Time:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every Thursday beginning July 8th, 11-12:30 p.m. PST<\/p>\n
