Sixth convening of the Come to the Table Conference
March 16, 2017
Durham Convention Center
301 West Morgan St.
Durham, NC, USA
The 2017 Come to the Table Conference, Bridging Divides: Cultivating Food and Faith Connections, will be our first statewide Come to the Table convening.
We look forward to gathering with community members, faith leaders, farmers, gardeners, farm workers, hunger relief agencies, and many more groups for a variety of workshops, presentations, and strategy sessions on relieving hunger and strengthening local and sustainable agriculture.
At the conference, we will explore both the history and present state of our food system: how and why food is produced and distributed, and how faith communities can support both farmers and consumers. Participants will have the opportunity to attend workshops on a variety of themes, including: theology and food, a systemic look at hunger relief, foundational knowledge for community development, food and farm policy, and more.
Registration ends February 28, 2017.
