---Conference Announcement---

You are invited to attend a free conference

CULTIVATING FOOD JUSTICE
building a local movement
Keynote address by Dolores Huerta, co-founder of United Farm Workers

San Diego is surrounded by farmland, an ocean, and a border. Each is a vital
component of our local food system, each is threatened by our policies and
practices.

Buzzwords such as  "obesity," "globalization," "immigration," "local food,"
"global warming," and "peak oil" are flooding the media. Although you may
see them in different news stories, their meanings are interconnected in
ways that are too often ignored. We can connect these words and the concepts
they represent and create fertile, nourishing change for San Diego, or we
can continue to feed ourselves, unaware of the spoonfuls of stories and
connections behind each bite.

We believe that the energy and ambition are there -- that we have the
passion to change the very fabric of San Diego's current food system. We
invite you join us on March 3rd for a free conference exploring food
justice. Bring your enthusiasm, concern, and voice to the table and help
grow our local movement.
