How Do We Feed Ourselves? A New FPF Report

In March, Food Producers Forum brought together fourteen people who work across the NL food system — farmers, fishers, food scientists, researchers, processors, educators, nonprofit reps and policy advocates — for a wide-ranging conversation on its problems and potentials. The first result is a new report: How Do We Feed Ourselves? A Report from the Provincial Food System Think Tank.

One afternoon was never going to resolve the formidable issues in play, but the session established a foundation for further dialogue and action based on a shared recognition of what is at stake. With this in hand, we'll be moving ahead to strategize and define a sustainable food system for our province, and we hope you, reader, will join us in that work. We all eat -- we all have a role to play. You can hear our Executive Director, Greg Hewlett, talking with Martin Jones about the report on the CBC Newfoundland Morning Show here; you can hear Thank Tank participants Heather Zurel, Alison Snow, John Finn and Tom Angiers on The Signal with Adam Walsh here.
