SUMMARY:Just Food With 18 Reasons
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to join 18 Reasons for a day of cooking and reflecting on food justice and food sovereignty. \nChema will speak about the traditional Mesoamerican food system based on the “three sisters” and teach attendees to make delicious vegan tamales. Anchoring the discussion in the different components of the tamales\, Nassim will speak about social justice issues that affect people all along the food chain\, showing the interconnectedness of these issues and the need for a radical transformation of our food system. \nOur workshop will be followed by a shared lunch and an afternoon of discussions on food equity in California and other topics geared to enrich the work of food activists. \nEvent page.

SUMMARY:Conversation on Veganic Farming
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this meeting of the Working Group on Veganic Farming! \n********************* \nReclaiming and defending space for gardening and small-scale farming is vital to creating just and sustainable food systems. Unfortunately\, the food movement has largely defaulted to farming models that depend on animal exploitation\, creating a sense that local sustainable food necessarily involves farming cows\, goats and other animals. Likewise\, organic production is widely dependant on animal fertilizers\, most of which are factory farm by-products. \nWhat can we do as activists and farmers to build better food systems without contributing to animal exploitation? How can we put veganic farming on the table and promote vegan agroecology as the basis of our food system? We discuss this and more at our meetings. \nIf you are interested in food sovereignty\, agroecology\, animal liberation\, or any related topic\, please come share your thoughts! Please also bring a vegan snack to share. \n************************ \nThe Working Group on Veganic Farming is a group of farmers and activists who meet regularly to discuss how to promote veganic agriculture. All meetings are open to everyone. \n

SUMMARY:Celebration of International Year of Pulses
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations declared 2016 the International Year of Pulses – with good reason! \nPulses\, or legumes\, are an important type of food and crop throughout the world. They provide protein\, fiber and other nutrients to our diets\, without the saturated fat and cholesterol that accompany animal-based protein. They are grown with a small fraction of the resources it takes to produce meat\, and because they fix nitrogen in the soil\, they can help avoid fertilizer use\, making them key to the sustainability of our food systems. \nLegumes are among the cheapest foods one can buy\, and yet they are far from boring. From falafel to ash reshteh to baked beans\, they are prepared in a variety of delicious ways in different cultures. And yet\, pulses are often overlooked and under-appreciated. Indeed\, as incomes rise\, people usually move from eating beans to eating meat. \nJoin Seed the Commons this year to celebrate International Year of Pulses! \nThis celebration will be a full afternoon during which we’ll explore: \n\n\nThe importance of legumes both from a nutritional and environmental standpoint\nThe role of legumes in various food cultures and how to creatively incorporate more into our diets\nThe reasons for our food choices – why is it that despite the benefits of eating legumes instead of meat\, meat continues to be so favored?\n\nAnd finally\, the crown of this amazing event is an Indian vegan cooking workshop led by Shanta Nimbark Sacharoff. \nWe suggest a donation of $20\, nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. \n\nSpace is limited\, RSVP required by email or at 415-501-0811. \nFacebook event page. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Conversation on Veganic Farming
DESCRIPTION:The third meeting of the Working Group on Veganic Farming is already upon us. Come help build our movement!\nReclaiming and defending space for gardening and small-scale farming is vital to creating just and sustainable food systems. Unfortunately\, the food movement has largely defaulted to farming models that depend on animal exploitation\, creating a sense that local sustainable food necessarily involves farming cows\, goats and other animals. Likewise\, organic production is widely dependant on animal fertilizers\, most of which are factory farm by-products. \nWhat can we do as activists and farmers to build better food systems without contributing to animal exploitation? How can we put veganic farming on the table and promote vegan agroecology as the basis of our food system? \nIf you are interested in food sovereignty\, agroecology\, animal liberation\, or any related topic\, please come share your thoughts! \nPlease also bring a vegan snack to share. \nFacebook event page.
