Next Meeting: April 15, 1-2 PM Pacific Time
Our meetings provide a space for people interested in city food systems to discuss their work, the issues they face, their challenges and their successes.
When the USDA chose Los Angeles as one of the cities in which it would run an Urban County Committee, I wondered what success they'd had in other cities where committees were already established, and how implementation was going in cities like mine that were bringing up their committees for the first time.
When the LA Food Policy Council working group on urban ag talked about the challenges in making urban agriculture incentives zones work, I wondered who else had tried something like this and how they approached it.
And who hasn't been inspired by successes they've read about in cities other than their own?
We don't have a fixed agenda -- we just talk with each other.
We Zoom on third Wednesdays from 1-2 PM Pacific time.
