PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY - APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS

The Food for Talk Forum is pleased to invite you to its FALL SEMINAR SERIES
AND DISCUSSION FORUM (complete listing of dates and speakers below).  This
seminar series/discussion forum provides a place for conversations among
people who work within communities, government and universities, in order to
explore the emerging and challenging issues around food security,
agricultural transformation, and local food alternatives/networks.  

This monthly forum is jointly organized by the Centre for Urban Health
Initiatives at the University of Toronto, the Faculty of Environmental
Studies at York University, the Centre for Studies in Food Security at
Ryerson University, and the Toronto Food Policy Council.  We hope that it
will serve as a venue for discussion and networking among people working on
food issues from all sectors.
