Last Year's Conference
The 2010 Cultivating Food Justice Conference, which took place at San Diego State University on April 24 and 25, was a rousing success with over 750 registered attendees. The two-day event, which was free for all participants, explored ways to make our food system more accessible and healthy for everyone in our community.
Organized by our sister organization San Diego Food Not Lawns, hours of preparation and service from many volunteers, the support of the SDSU Center for Regional Sustainability and the Associated Students of SDSU, and with sponsorship by SD Roots and Slow Food Urban San Diego, the jam-packed schedule included workshops, demonstrations, discussions and delicious food, all for free.
Keynote speakers were noted author and advocate for creating a more just global food system, Raj Patel on Saturday, and local farmer Barry Logan on Sunday.
