Standing united against the pressing issue of food insecurity at the Junior League of San Diego's Annual Impact Forum. This year, our mission is clear: Educate, Inspire, Act. With one in four San Diegans facing the challenge of food insecurity, the need for collective action is urgent. The Impact Forum served as a platform for a robust panel discussion and Q&A, featuring insights from esteemed experts, including Hayley Bratt, Amy Ellis, Javier Guerrero, Dr. Julie A. Elginer, Patty O'Connor, Naomi Young, and Christina Pascucci. Their expertise and dedication inspire us to delve deeper into the issues surrounding food insecurity. Our goal is threefold: to educate the community on the realities of food insecurity, to inspire new ideas and approaches, and most importantly, to catalyze meaningful action. Past Impact Forum outcomes, like JLSD’s Diaper Bank and Period Pantry, demonstrate the power of collective efforts. This year's focus is particularly crucial as the challenges intensify with inflation and rising costs. Join us in the mission to Educate, Inspire, Act. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those affected by food insecurity. 🌟 #JLSDImpactForum #EndFoodInsecurity #EducateInspireAct PATH Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank Coastal Roots Farm Feeding San Diego San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG)

Please reach out to me if I can help answer any questions OR if you would like to host an Indiana Food Vision listening session in your area! The Indiana Food Vision will be a strategic roadmap for cultivating a robust, nourishing, and equitable food system where all communities in Indiana thrive. The Indiana Food Vision is a ‘by the people for the people’ effort to center the voices of Hoosiers who eat, grow, or buy food in Indiana- that means YOU! The Indiana Food Vision will create a shared understanding of our food system challenges and opportunities and unify efforts to: *Inform decision makers at the local, regional, state levels *Help communities, businesses, and organizations get funding *Identify what is already working in our food system *Foster innovation and collaboration across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors *Support local efforts with statewide information. 📃Please take 10 minutes to complete the survey: https://bit.ly/3U7c3wB 📫Join our mailing list: https://lnkd.in/eQGrYxcc 📧Please reach out if you have questions. info@indianafoodvision.org

Advocacy, education, and systems are powerful tools for encouraging local food consumption. The more you know, the better choices you can make, right? That goes for both food producers and consumers. That's why it is crucial to advocate for local food, educate our communities about its benefits, and create shared systems that help local food producers scale. A Food Research and Action Center study shows informed consumers are 60% more likely to buy locally! We love that probability. 😊 #LocalFood #LocalFoodKC #KCFoodways Join our upcoming newsletter for tips on how to be a local food advocate. https://ow.ly/Ncyu50PW4jS
