This conference will highlight WA State programs that are helping to move the food system forward by reconnecting eaters with the roots of their edible history figuratively, literally, and culturally. Panel discussions will examine farm-to-institution projects, food programs embracing cultural diversity, the urban agriculture movement, and human rights within food systems.
