Community food security is a condition in which all community residents
obtain a safe, culturally acceptable, nutritionally adequate diet
through a sustainable food system that maximises community self-reliance
and social justice. This will be an interactive seminar using the
experience of food security as an example of how to get social movements
going and grassroots initiatives up and running. There will be plenty of
time for a lively discussion.
