Need
EcoReality needs public outreach and education as part of its vision. Simon Fraser University course students are seeking a field trip overnight and hands-on learning experience for the course "A Semester in Food" about food policy, food sovereignty and local sustainable food production and lifestyle.
Description
Two SFU instructors and up to 23 students will arrive at EcoReality June 12 mid morning and stay for 24 hours to learn about sustainable food production and lifestyle at EcoReality - the relationships, the structures, the action.
Status
