Food & Faith Dialogue Series: Empowering Local Communities

https://www.faithandfood.earth/events/community-dialogue

"Empowering Local Communities," the fifth and final part of a virtual dialogue series of food and faith, will be held June 3 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

As the world has globalized the hubs responsible for providing basic needs have become monopolized, less diverse, and more dispersed to such a degree that just five countries are responsible for 60% of the world’s food supply. Building resilience to climate shocks means directing financing for local agro development, increasing equitable access,  and engaging local Indigenous and community growers to produce bioregional appropriate foods that can be supplemented by world markets.
