MPFN Food Security 101 Workshop

Following up from the Scan of Food Assets and Needs done in the Winter of 2022, the Mt Pleasant Food Network (MPFN) is continuing to explore how we work towards our vision of a just and sustainable food system, where everyone in Mt Pleasant has secure access to adequate amounts of safe, nutritious, culturally appropriate food, produced in an environmentally sustainable way and provided in a manner that promotes dignity.

Join us for a 1.5 hour facilitated discussion covering the basics of food security. We will review key terms, resources, and actions we can take for addressing food insecurity in our community. To register, tell us about yourself below.
