DESCRIPTION:Nick Saul, President and CEO, Community Food Centres Canada; Author, The 
 Stop: How the Fight for Good Food Transformed a Community and Inspired a 
 Movement\nRaj Patel, Activist; Academic; Author, Stuffed and Starved and 
 The Value of Nothing\nNikki Henderson, Executive Director, People's 
 Grocery\nJason Mark, Editor, Earth Island Journal; Co-manager, Alemany 
 Farms - Moderator\n\nIt began as a food bank. It turned into a 
 movement.\n\nIn 1998, when Nick Saul became executive director of The Stop, 
 the little urban food bank was like thousands of others – cramped and 
 dreary, a last-hope refuge for the area's impoverished. Since then, The 
 Stop has undergone a radical reinvention and is now a thriving, 
 internationally respected Community Food Centre with gardens, kitchens, a 
 greenhouse, farmers markets and a mission to revolutionize the food system. 
 Chef Jamie Oliver has called the story of The Stop "a great lesson for us 
 all," one that argues for a new politics of food, one in which everyone has 
 a dignified, healthy place at the table. Join us as Raj Patel and other 
 voices in the world of food justice talk with Saul about how we can use 
 good food to take charge of our communities, and forward-thinking models 
 can change the way we combat hunger and poverty worldwide.\n\nLocation: SF
