A more just and equitable food system is possible – but it's going to take all of us to get us there. To motivate, activate, and coordinate our collective work, National Farm to School Network invites you to plug into our Call to Action: By 2025, 100% of communities will hold power in a racially just food system. Your hopes and dreams, skills and talents, contributions and presence are all welcome and needed for this Call to Action to become reality. Join us on June 23, 2021 for a virtual Community Gathering to dig into how farm to school – the ways kids eat, grow, and learn about food in schools and early care and education settings – can be part of the work to shift power and cultivate justice in our food system. Gain new tools and skills for shifting power in your work, learn from movement leaders who are building power through community food efforts, and connect with fellow food systems partners from across the country as we grow stronger together. Registration is free and open to all, no prior experience with farm to school needed. Click the links below to register for one or all of the sessions.
