Lori Weber- Slow Food Shasta Cascade, John Luvaas- Chico Grange, Bryan Shaw- Chico Natural Foods, Francine Stuelpnagel- GRUB, LaDona Knigge- CSU, Chico, and Jeremy Miller- Chico Food Network will speak toward the theme of “food community and democracy.” The panel will be co-moderated by CSUC student Carly Freeman and Lori Weber and will begin with a brief talk from Dr. LaDona Knigge on “civic agriculture.” The food sustainability movement underscores the connection between food, the people that produce and consume the food, their communities, and U.S. democracy. These organizations provide unique contributions to community and democracy in Chico and the North State. The goal of this panel is to provide forum for attendees and presenters to discuss these contributions, and raise consciousness about the inextricable link between the health of our food and political systems.

Tehama Together is a new nonprofit organization established to bring together the community and its resources to better meet the needs of Tehama County residents. To do this, we plan to establish a place where people can come together to promote health and nutrition through the use of local food products, to sponsor workshops of community interest and to develop a county wide information and referral system. The first major project will be the development of a community garden.
Schools who wish to pursue, or are already working on gardens.
