> Since these events many people have requested a group to reconvene  
> and continue discussions on food security.
> Several people have suggested that we explore  how a food policy  
> council might serve to support a food system that is equitable and  
> sustainable while meeting the diverse needs of our neighborhoods.  
> Other areas of interest include buying clubs, urban agriculture,  
> food preservation and safety as important aspects of our local food  
> system.
>
> A light meal will be provided.
> Child care is available upon advance request.
