DESCRIPTION:This event is being organized by the California Food and Justice 
 Association and is co-hosted by the Oakland Food Connection, OBUGS, 
 People's Grocery, Alemany Farm, Urban Tilth, Hope Collaborative, City 
 Slickers Farm, Farm Link, Mo' Better Food & Full Circle Farm.   \n\n$20 
 Members, $40 Non-Members (Scholarships available)\nRegister online at 
 www.cafoodjustice.org   \n\nIf we are to build the thriving, 
 community-driven and fair urban agriculture system we need we must have 
 land.\n\nJoin us for a day of information, sharing and discussion on how we 
 can secure land for food production to increase access to healthy food for 
 all, including low-income/food stamp eligible communities.  \n\nThe issue 
 of land access is of critical importance.  Growing food in the city has 
 enormous potential to increase access to healthy food, create green collar 
 jobs and other economic opportunities and build community self reliance. 
 Securing sustained access to land for food production is one of the most 
 challenging and important steps for almost all urban and suburban 
 agriculture projects.  \n\nTopics to be covered in the workshop include: 
 accessing public and private land, zoning and planning laws, community 
 organizing strategies and easements and policies we can pass to help grow 
 urban agriculture.\n\nThe California Food and Justice Coalition is a 
 statewide membership coalition committed to the basic human right to 
 healthy food while advancing social, agricultural, environmental and 
 economic justice.  Through advocacy, organizing and education, we 
 collaborate with community-based efforts to create a sustainable food 
 supply for the residents of California.\n
