Slow Food Calgary refines its Mandate

We’ve been thinking about the best way to spend our time, energy and very slim financial resources to help to cultivate a thriving local food community in support of good, clean and fair food.

Our planning committee met on November 19th to exchange these thoughts and to develop an action plan for 2012.

The content of the plan will appear as we post news of upcoming events and projects in the coming weeks and months.

Here is our mandate. It is not so much new as it is refined and newly explicit:

• Making local connections between consumers, chefs, producers and processors of good, clean, fair food.

• Building public awareness of agricultural systems.

• Promoting the concepts of equality and responsibility for our food system.

Join us on this road less travelled!
