ShareWorld Food Day 2011
|
When we sit down to dinner every day, rarely do we realize that our meal depends on a global system that involves people both next door and across oceans. This World Food Day, Oxfam America is teaming up with MCC, Church World Service and other allies across the USA and around the globe, to encourage people to take a simple yet profound action. We’re asking you and thousands of others to dedicate your Sunday Dinner, or your Sunday School class on October 16th to a conversation about where your food comes from, who is behind its cultivation and how we can make the food system more just and sustainable. We are all tied to a global food system. As we face the challenges of a growing population, skewed resource distribution and an erratic climate, one of the best ways to combat global food insecurity is to invest in small producers and remove the barriers that limit their productivity and ability to market their produce. This World Food Day dinner is about creating awareness. Below are resources available to you for hosting a fun, educational and engaging conversation about food justice.
