The panel will provide an overview of food co-operatives and community development: economic, health and social benefits co-ops provide communities, our local food-shed, edible school gardens and the movement towards growing education around food, intentional agriculture. This session will also provide a discussion of foundations needed for community education around understanding our current local bounty, using it, and creating systems which allow it to sustain us throughout the year.
