About this event
Food EventFood is about more than what's for dinner.
Join an expert-led discussion on the right to food and how we can increase access to food in our community. We will learn about Toronto's food system and strategize to address food insecurity and inequity. The panel will conclude with a group reflection and discussion on how we engage with our local food systems.
