May 16 Good Food for All: Community Food Security in Washtenaw County–OLLI at U-M (50+)
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M
Speakers: Eileen Spring, President and CEO of Food Gatherers, and Kim Bayer, President of the non-profit Slow Food Huron Valley.
In Washtenaw County currently 1 out of 7 individuals is at risk of going hungry as a result of poverty and policy. One answer to these challenges is Community Food Security, a concept that defines the conditions needed for freedom from hunger for both individuals and for an entire region. The good news is that a "safe, culturally acceptable, nutritionally adequate diet through a sustainable food system that maximizes community self-reliance and social justice" is possible here in southeast Michigan.
This is the last of six lectures in the series: “Our Food Supply: A Complicated Story.”
