[Foodplanning] Re: [COMFOOD:] Re: seattle food community info

[Branden Born]

Figured I might as well share this resource around; here's my message 
and links to Sara's original question.


I might be able to help, I'm faculty at UW, and do food systems planning 
work. You might take a look at the Sound Food Report, and the activities 
of the Seattle King County Acting Food Policy Council, both accessible 
at my web page:

http://faculty.washington.edu/bborn/food system resources.shtml

The AFPC White Paper on Food Access and grocery stores could be helpful.

Happy to talk if you have questions. The AFPC link has a bunch of good 
people--and you might also check out the Community Alliance for Global 
Justice food crisis teach in for names and organizations:

Best,
