The Bow Valley Food Alliance (BVFA) is a regional organization of passionate citizens and professionals dedicated to addressing food security and food sovereignty in the Bow Valley. The BVFA supports small and growing local food producers, ranchers and processors, encouraging and advocating for equitable, sustainable practices at all points in the food system. By food system, the BVFA refers to all of the different steps it takes to get food from farm to plate to waste. 

This informative virtual session will provide an understanding of the multiple ways food is connected to our daily lives, to our communities, and to the people and places across the province, country and world. This session will include speakers from Farm Box, GOAT Generation, Town of Canmore and Communitea Café, and aims to provide a holistic vision on different opportunities local businesses could take to help shape a more resilient food system in the Bow Valley.
