What are you really eating? Where does your food come from? What impact do your food choices have on farmers, the environment, your health and the community? Real food is food which truly nourishes producers, consumers, communities and the earth, but is that what we’re really eating?
Join us to celebrate  Food Day from Oct. 24th – 26th to highlight a food system that fundamentally respects human dignity and health, animal welfare, social justice and environmental sustainability. Food Day is about exploring the impact of our food system from seed to plate.
Events will include three days of information, analysis and opportunities to get involved in your food chain.
