** Welcome to the Food For All 2011 Conference Website! ** = = = =

­What do we need to know about global food security and poverty? What are some of the solutions the international community should be pursuing and how can one person make a difference? To mark World Food Day and the International Day for the Eradication of poverty, //Food for All: A Conference on Poverty and Global Food Security// will explore these questions and more. An exciting line-up of speakers will deliver short, engaging talks, followed by interactive workshops that link global poverty and food security issues with local concerns: the aim being to create a plan of action that can be carried forward to affect real change. The daylong event for is geared towards youth 16-30, but anyone with an interest in food security and global poverty is encouraged to attend.

The conference will be held on Saturday, October 15 at UBC.
