ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Over the past 15 years, CFSC has worked to catalyze a broad and far-reaching
food systems movement. Each year, CFSC brings people together to learn from
each other and to shape the future of our movement. CFSC held its first
conference with 170 attendees in Los Angeles in 1997 and this year we return
to California for ³Food Justice: Honoring our Roots, Growing the Movement.²

CFSC and the movement have grown exponentially, and so has the annual
conference! We expect 1,200 participants this November 5 ­ 8 in Oakland, CA
from almost every state, many Canadian provinces, and five continents. The
California Food and Justice Coalition (www.cafoodjustice.org) and Food First
(www.foodfirst.org) will be our hosts and have teamed up with many Bay Area
organizations to help CFSC put on a fantastic event.

The conference will begin with two days of pre-conference short courses and
Food Justice Tours throughout the Bay Area. The main conference begins
Sunday morning and runs through Tuesday afternoon featuring 66 skill
building and educational workshops, 20 networking sessions, 5 CFSC Member
committee meetings, and a poster session.
 
Throughout the conference General Sessions will look back to the roots of
our food movement, discuss the Food & Farm Bill, and examine where our
movement is heading.  The third annual Food Sovereignty Prize will be
awarded and attendees will have the opportunity to meet Food Sovereignty and
Food Justice advocates from the Bay Area and beyond.
