What can I do to make myself and my community more food secure.
Get involved! Food security education is not just relegated to school teachers and students, it is something that everyone can play an integrated role in. We can all always learn more about Food Security, apply our learning to the world around us, and share this learning with others. In order to implement the kinds of change necessary to set up a sustainable and secure local food supply, we are going to need everyones help as both life long learners and peer teachers in our local community.
Here are some ways in which you can help share information about pressing Food Security issues in our community.
- create newsletters like this one
- make learning worksheets
- produce fliers - do advertising in local media
- join email discussion lists - participate in forums
- write articles for local media
- create food security websites
- make signs for the local community garden or on your own property
- collaborate in making public installations for educating people about Food Security
- organize or attend events, gatherings, workshops, presentations, salons and discussion groups
- participate in related courses in mainstream education system
- grow gardens and produce your own food
- support local growing initiatives
