Student Food Activism at UVic – part of the 2018 Good Food Summit

Each year our Good Food Network gathers to celebrate and strengthen our efforts towards creating sustainable, healthy, just food systems in the Capital Region.

The UVSS Food Bank & Free Store, Uvic Meal Exchange, UVic Campus Community Garden, and UVic Community Cabbage will be coming together to address student food insecurity and access in Victoria, and how we can work to increase the availability of healthy food to students. Each group will share their unique perspective on how their activities are creating spaces in the student community where we can come together and focus on creating change within the current food system and drive forward a sustainable food future.

Entry to this session of the Good Food Summit is FREE to all individuals. The panel will consist of a student representative from each organization answering questions on a series of topics including food justice, food insecurity, and food literacy, as well as time for audience question.
