The Community Food Security Coalition is a non-profit, North American
organization dedicated to building strong, sustainable, local and regional
food systems that ensure access to affordable, nutritious, and culturally
appropriate food for all people at all times. We seek to develop
self-reliance among all communities in obtaining their food and to create a
system of growing, manufacturing, processing, making available, and selling
food that is regionally based.

The Community Food Security Coalition’s annual
conference<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=30342779&msgid=398120&act=H0D1&c=274406&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.communityfoodconference.org>is
the nation’s primary food systems networking and educational event.
More
than 700 participants will gather in Des Moines for four days of
presentations, workshops, networking opportunities, local foods, and a
variety of field trips around the state.

The 2009 conference will include a special one-day gathering of state and
local food policy council organizers and practitioners, as well as plenary
sessions on building networks for food system change, labor and immigration
policy, and strategies for change of the industrial food system. Also
featured will be 50 workshops, a food-film festival, six field trips, the
first annual Food Sovereignty Prize Award presentation, business meetings,
structured networking time, lunch-and-learns, and a trade show.

Des Moines hosts multiple food and agriculture events the week of October
10. Overlapping the Community Food Security Coalition Conference is the Iowa
Hunger Summit on October 13 followed by the 2009 World Food Prize “Borlaug
Dialogue” symposium on October 14-16. The theme of the Borlaug Dialogue is
“Food, Agriculture, and National Security in a Globalized World,” and
several hundred global leaders from more than 65 countries are expected to
attend. For more information, visit the
