*Food for All 2011: UBC Conference on Poverty and Global Food Security

What are some of the solutions the international community should be pursuing and how can one person make a difference?

To mark World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Food for All: A Conference on Poverty and Global Food Security will explore these questions and more. An exciting line-up of speakers will deliver short, engaging talks, followed by interactive workshops that link global poverty and food security issues with local concerns: the aim being to create a plan of action that can be carried forward to affect real change.

The daylong event for is geared towards youth 16-30, but anyone with an interest in food security and global poverty is encouraged to attend.

This will be a great networking opportunity and will also provide information for local and international volunteer opportunities. Space for table displays and volunteering placements still exist.
