BANANAS: IS IT HEALTHY TO GAS THEM?
Bananas are being gassed for many reasons. I need your comments, is this healthy for people?
THE FOURTH ANNUAL YOUTH SYMPOSIUM ON FOOD & HUNGER: OPPORTUNITIES FOR POLICY AND CHANGE
The Fourth Annual Youth Symposium on Food & Hunger Will be on Saturday, October 25, 2014. It will focus on bringing together everyone who has participated in the Symposium in the past to, "Take Stock!"
Taking Stock will focus on where are we, what have we done and how should we go forward from here? It was four years ago when in a conversation with Mr. John Baker he suggested that we have a citywide Youth Symposium and from there the event has become a community icon. The time has come now for us to determine where we go from here. For more information, please contact projectfoodnow@gmail.com
