Upcoming events sponsored by Food First and our partners in the Bay Area and beyond
Food First Events is pleased to announce three public agroecology events this week in the San Francisco Bay Area, sponsored by Food First, the Berkeley Food Institute, and the Latin American Scientific Society of Agroecology (SOCLA). The expansion of agroecology in Latin America has initiated a process of cognitive, technological and socio-political innovation, intimately linked to the emergence of progressive governments and resistance movements of peasants and indigenous people. Do SHARE this announcement and join us a fascinating discussion of the role of agroecology in promoting food system transformation.
