On February 16th we create a platform of inclusion, celebration, discussion and action. Join us for a multidiscplinary approach to discuss food and it's affect on the South Bronx (and abroad). The South Bronx is a community through which millions of pounds of food arrive everyday but curiously enough we have little access to. On that day we will come together in the spirit of progress, action and resiliency. We will explore the themes that create our current reality and then celebrate those who engage, dream big and move forward! It is a day of talks, visioning, art, music and of course great food and drink. Don't worry if you can't make it, we will be livestreaming the event. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE BRONX! We use the Bronx as an example of a grossly injustice food system and the models by which communities like the Bronx can become more food sovereign.
