Nourish Screening and Harvest Exchange!
Food Day
Local organizations are joining efforts to participate in Food Day – a national movement aimed at promoting healthy, sustainable, and affordable food systems in America. Modeled after Earth Day, Food Day is an occasion to teach and learn about local and seasonal food, healthy diets, sustainable agriculture, food access, school gardens and children’s health.
Food Day is organized around six main policy goals:
- Reduce diet-related disease by promoting safe, healthy foods
- Support sustainable farms and limit subsidies to big agribusiness
- Expand access to food and alleviate hunger
- Protect the environment and animals by reforming factory farms
- Promote health by curbing junk-food marketing to kids
- Support fair working conditions for food and farm workers
This year, to celebrate Food Day, Healthy People Alliance is hosting community screenings of Nourish, an educational initiative designed to open a meaningful conversation about food and sustainability, particularly in schools and communities. The events will also include information tables, guest speakers, local food producers, local restaurants and a preview of the Nourish Middle School Curriculum Guide.
