[BCFSN] Fwd: Breaking news: Minister Bibeau announces members of the Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council

[Grandview Woodland Food Connection]

Wow, this will be interesting to see how this evolves. Lots of academics
and industry people, with some community organizer types, though maybe
looks a bit sparse on the grassroots community side, which I think is
critical...Good to see Melana Roberts, Avni Soma, and Rosie Mensah to bring
forward community perspective, though I need to be careful not to
generalize.

I see as a key leg of food resilience moving ahead the recognition of place
and relationship based work as a fundamental piece to individual and
community health and well-being. So big systems thinking tied to place
based and community development......

Will be watching this closely.

Thank you,
