What do we need to know about global food security and poverty? What are some of the solutions the international community should be pursuing and how can one person make a difference?

To mark World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of poverty, the B.C. Council for International Cooperation’s Working Group to End Global Poverty presents Food for All: A Conference on Poverty and Global Food Security. The conference will explore these questions and more. An exciting line-up of speakers deliver short, engaging talks, followed by interactive workshops that link global poverty and food justice issues with local concerns and create an environment to come up with a plan of action that can be carried forward to affect real change.

This will be a great networking opportunity – a variety of organizations will be on hand to provide information about career and volunteer opportunities. The one-day event for is geared towards youth 16-30, but anyone with an interest in food security and global poverty is encouraged to attend.
