Learn...
* Why we must--and how we can--grow more food in all of our communities,
from schools to lawns to lots
* Exciting and accessible sustainable gardening techniques used at Seeds
of Solidarity Farm to build soil through no-till practices and solar
greenhouses
* How to help mitigate climate change while cultivating delicious and
abundant food
* About youth agriculture, school and community wellness gardens, and a
successful art and agriculture festival, which inspire and explain
approaches to increasing community-based food self-reliance

Participate in a roundtable discussion to delve more deeply into issues
and ideas, and generate next steps toward fresh food for all and community
food security.
