Panelists from a broad spectrum of groups and activities share their innovative and successful ways of engaging the community in contributing to regional/local food systems change. The panel members share examples and successes, best approaches and how inequities were considered and solved; all through a social justice lens; therefore determining the implications for Alberta food systems policy change. What can we do together to help build National provincial and municipal food policies? How do we take back control of our food system (food sovereignty)? Ways and means to answer and find solutions to these questions will be the focus of this food justice and policy panel which seeks the ideas and input from those attending. It is not up to them it is up to all of us!
