SUMMARY:Faith + Food - Planting Seeds for Change
DESCRIPTION:What are the impacts of our global food systems on people and the planet? What can we learn from Indigenous communities and traditional food practices? How can a respect for faith and values make food systems more healthy\, sustainable\, and equitable? \nTo help answer these questions\, the Faith + Food Coalition will host “Faith + Food: Planting Seeds for Change” on July 27\, 2021 at 8 a.m. Central European Summer Time (2 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time in the US). This global online forum will present the Coalition’s findings and recommendations to improve food security and access in conjunction with the United Nations Food Systems Pre-Summit in Rome. The Pre-Summit—which will engage policymakers\, advocates\, NGOs\, healthcare leaders\, and others from around the world—is part of the lead up to the UN Food Systems Summit on September 24 in New York. \n“Values and ethics must be included in the global policy-making conversation about food\,” said Karenna Gore\, executive director of the Center for Earth Ethics. “We are honored to convene this forum with people who bring real insight about this essential dimension of human life.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom top left: Chris Elisara\, Marium Husain\, Lina Mahy\, Gopal Patel\, Andrew Schwartz \nSpeakers will be Dr. Chris Elisara\, director of the World Evangelical Alliance’s Creation Care Task Force and a senior fellow at Duke Divinity School’s Ormond Center; Dr. Marium Husain\, president of the Islamic Medical Association of North America and a hematology/oncology fellow at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center; Lina Mahy\, technical officer in the World Health Organization’s Multisectoral Action in Food Systems Unit; and Gopal Patel\, co-founder and director of Bhumi Global. Andrew Schwartz\, the director of sustainability and global affairs at the Center for Earth Ethics\, will moderate the discussion. \n“Planting Seeds for Change” builds upon five interfaith dialogues that CEE convened in May and June as part of a formal UN process to engage diverse stakeholders in the Food Systems Summit. The Food + Faith dialogues explored how faith communities—including Indigenous communities—could support the transformation of global food systems toward something that was truly sustainable\, accessible\, equitable\, and regenerative. They engaged grassroots organizers\, farmers\, food advocates\, and policymakers to gather insights and develop holistic\, inclusive recommendations. \n“Engaging faith-based groups and Indigenous communities is essential to shifting worldviews toward food and the natural world\,” says Schwartz. “We’re delighted to have been invited to organize this forum alongside the Pre-Summit.” \n“Planting Seeds for Change” will review key findings from the five Food + Faith Dialogues\, identify crucial topics for the Summit to address\, and issue calls to action. \nThe Food + Faith Coalition comprises seven groups—the Center for Earth Ethics\, Bhumi Global\, Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation\, Interfaith Public Health Network\, Islamic Medical Association of North America\, Parliament of the World’s Religions\, and the World Evangelical Alliance’s Creation Care Task Force –that came together to create a platform for faith groups and Indigenous communities around the world to contribute to the UN Food Systems Summit. \nThe forum is open to all without charge\, but registration is required. \nREGISTER 
