Listen Later

Food security is so much more than just receiving a bag of food. Part 1 of this season's series on food security is made up of highlights from a panel discussion hosted by Congregation Beth Israel and Jewish Family Services of Vancouver back in January. The panelists provide a big picture introduction to food security in all its complexity; from the lived experience, to global systems, to the spiritual impact of food (in)justice.

Panelists:

Mara Shnay - Chair of the Jewish Family Services Client Advisory Committee
Cindy McMillan - Director of Programs and Partnerships at JFS
Krystine McInnes - CEO at Grown Here Farms
Dr. Eleanor Boyle - Writer and educator on sustainable food systems
Dr. Tammara Soma - Assistant Professor and Food Systems Lab Research Director at Simon Fraser University

Stay tuned for Parts 2 & 3 as we dig deeper into local food insecurity and learn about an exciting development in how it's being addressed.
