The SAFSF Forum will again be held online in 2021 to bring you the opportunities for real-life learning and peer connection that funders look forward to all year. Spanning two weeks, from May 3-14, 2021, the 2021 SAFSF Forum is a curated assortment of thought-provoking, timely, and diverse programming developed by your SAFSF funder peers.
This opening session will shine a light on how philanthropy’s practices examine how our practices have perpetuated the systems that have failed us, and amplify the voices of food systems leaders who are showing us the way toward a more just, equitable, and sustaining food system.
We invite you to join us for an informal welcome to the SAFSF network, and an opportunity to connect with peers and connect with friendly peer faces you’ll be able to recognize on Zoom throughout the rest of the Forum.
This session will explore, educate, and generate thoughtful dialogue around the interconnectivity of cross-border food systems. Presented by International Community Foundation.
