SUMMARY:The role of civil society in food system governance: Comparing Canada\, the United States\, and Australia
DESCRIPTION:The role of civil society in food system governance: Comparing Canada\, the United States\, and Australia\n\n\nOttawa\, Canada: Thursday 2 June\, 7-9pm (EDT)\nBaltimore\, United States: Thursday 2 June\, 7-9pm (EDT)\nMelbourne/Sydney\, Australia: Friday 3 June\, 9-11am (AEST)\n\nJoin this webinar and interactive conversation to learn about how civil society organizations in Canada\, the United States\, and Australia are working collaboratively to influence food system policy change and decision making. \nCivil society organizations are integral to food system governance. Food systems governance is not limited to laws and regulations developed by government. It also includes practices\, actions\, and advocacy by a wide range of actors to create policies and change decision making structures. \nThe webinar will include a dialogue between civil society representatives and researchers from Canada\, the US and Australia\, exploring the role of civil society organizations in food system governance. We will unpack the motivations\, opportunities\, challenges\, and lessons learnt from collaborative forms of food system governance. We will also reflect on lessons learnt from the various models of collaborative food system governance\, such as food policy councils and networks\, across the three countries. \nRecent research will set the stage for representatives from each country to share their experiences of engaging in food system governance. Discussions emerging from the webinar will contribute to future comparative research on the role of civil society organizations in food systems governance in the US\, Australia\, and Canada. \nA second event later in June will focus on the issues of equity and inclusion in food system governance\, as well as Indigenous-settler relations.
