DC Food Future:
Planting the Seeds of Justice

This event will bring together inner-city voices and other experts across the food system to speak as one. HAFA will share images, stories, and ideas gathered from 15 community brainstorms with over 350 participants from the DMV. Then we’ll spend the day learning, networking, and investing in our local economy. Together, we will collaborate on a vision and a map for a just food system.

The event is wheelchair accessible. Spanish translation will be provided.
