How to Create Relationships to Increase our Food Resiliency - SACPA - October 20th, 2022
Channel: Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs
Date: 2022-10-28

The speaker will provide an overview of the Lethbridge Sustainable Living Association and all of their hands-on grassroot initiatives as they relate to local food security, sustainability, community building, and reducing waste. The speaker will offer suggestions for simple ways of engaging our local food supporting initiatives, businesses, and organizations. She will discuss the importance of relationships and how this fundamental caring for one another increases our community ability to feed ourselves better while increasing our resiliency to the changing climate and political world instability. During a time where we are seeing food prices and inflation skyrocketing, we want to know that we have agency in where and how our food comes to us. The speaker will point to many local examples of projects, and groups who are making traction towards a more community secure food system.
