Buy Local Food and Farm Toolkit: A Guide for Community Organizers
Food isn’t just about nutrition and taste. Food brings us to the table and allows us to share time together while nourishing our bodies. It is an integral part of our daily lives, whether we have plenty to eat, or none at all. Today, the food we eat is produced by a system that has become increasingly complex, a system that can negatively affect our health, our economy, our environment and our communities. As a result, food is taking on greater significance in our lives. More and more people are seeing food as a viable vehicle for social change. Our values can actually be reflected on our plates! It is important, therefore, to make sure that our food choices represent values of social equity and environmental sustainability. This toolkit will show you how you can help shape our food system in ways that promote the production of safe, healthy food that protects the environment and bolsters local economies.

“The US has a new and unique opportunity to engage with developing countries and to assist them in adapting to the serious climate consequences they face,” Oxfam’s Jim Lyons told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “We can create a global deal, but only if the US is proactive and responsive to developing countries’ concerns and perspectives.”
