On June 21st, farmers at the YMCA Youth Center in Birmingham, farm group leaders, Neighborhood Presidents, community activists, religious leaders, nonprofit advocates, Extension agents and others will gather to share information on efforts around the state and region to expand Alabama’s food access. The one-day Food Summit will be the second gathering of its kind to build on the growing demand for locally produced food and the issue of food insecurity in our area. If you are part of a local effort, the Summit will offer an excellent opportunity to share your experiences and learn from others around the city, state and region.
Greater Birmingham Community Food Partners (formerly the Food Security Coalition of Jefferson County) is holding this Food Summit in conjunction with Jones Valley Urban Farm’s Summer Solstice Festival. The purpose of the summit is to bring people from across Jefferson County together around the issue of equitable access to fresh, healthy food.
