Coffee Chats
Feeding Our Future: Food Security & Sovereignty
Topic
In honor of World Food Day, join Economic Alliance Snohomish County as we welcome local experts for a virtual event focused on raising awareness about food assistance needs and promoting food sovereignty within our communities.
We will talk with the leaders of a public farm pilot project underway in Stanwood, Washington, aimed at engaging the community by teaching participants on how to create an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable agricultural system benefiting the local food bank.
The panel will also discuss other similar cooperative efforts to combat food insecurity in our communities, plus ways you can get involved.
Meet Our Panel
- Terrence Bedford, President, Rotary Club of Stanwood/Camano Island
- Paula Thomas, Board of Directors, Stanwood Camano Food Bank
- Andrew Davis, Environmental Conservationist, Agricultural Specialist, Ovenell Park Public Farm Project
This event aims to bring together local residents, community organizations, businesses, and experts to engage in meaningful discussions, share information, and collaborate on solutions to address food insecurity and promote sustainable food systems in Snohomish County.
Coffee Chats are virtual and free to attend. RSVP to receive a link to join the livestream via Zoom.
