Everyone needs food. Food and the underlying systems that produce it influence every facet of our lives, including the health, environment, economy and well-being of ourselves and our communities. The recent industrialization of our food system has transformed the way we interact with our food. The potential to transform our relationships with our food exists. In fact, many would argue that transforming and strengthening these relationships is absolutely fundamental in order to create and sustain a healthy planet and society.
This forum seeks to explore the ways in which connections can be formed between farming and education and the potential for these connections to contribute to a shift towards a new ecologically aware food system that is grounded in practical wisdom.

Hello: My name is Marilyn Cameron and I live in Greenwich. I am interested in attending your seminar on food AND I am interested in making a brief (10-15 min)presentation on BIOSOLIDS. I am the Chair of the Biosolids & Waste Water Caucus with the Nova Scotia Environmental Network and have been researching biosolids for well over a year about the thousands of contaminents in sewage sludges and the negative effects on soils, ground water, human and livestock health. Biosolids are being spread on some Kings Co. farms and these biosolids are derived from sewage sludge coming from Halifax Regional Municipality. One of the most important functions that I can perform is to bring awareness to the public about this problem and to pressure our government to stop allowing the poisoning of our food sources. I hope that it will be possible to speak about biosolids at your food discussion.
Thank you!
Yes, I agree. It is much better for all of our waste to go directly into the ocean where it belongs.
Double A: Please take a moment and look up some facts – there are several ways to dispose of our waste other than dumping it into the ocean. Start with googling “PASO” – Plasma Assisted Sludge Oxidation”. Then, take another moment and google sewage sludge or “sludgewatch-1@list.web.net” and see http://www.nsen.ca and click “working groups/caucuses”.
