The "Growing Hope Food Summit" was held
on April 1 & 2 at a church on W Exchange Street in Akron. There were
18 people from our community in attendance. The first day they
showed us a film called "Fresh" which talked about growing food at
home. The second day was a conference which was intended to define
the goals of the movement going forward. The sponsoring
organization is a community group which works to increase
food availability and nutrition, particularly for minorities.
One of the priorities which was
popularly shared by all the stakeholders was the desire to have more
community gardens. So, that will be an agenda item that the
Bhutanese community will be watching closely as many of our people
would like to garden in the greater Akron area. Also, there was
talk about bringing farmer's markets with fresh produce to minority
neighborhoods (like ours). They also want to encourage small stores
to carry vegetables.
Amber Subba, Tuk Rai, and Jas Maya Subba were there to interpret. |
