Farmers’ Markets and Food Security:
Access and Equity in the Bay and Beyond
In the midst of summer bounty in the produce-rich Bay Area, Food First hosts a discussion on the role of farmers’ markets in achieving food security. Starting off the evening with a brief introduction to Food First, we will watch a clip of Edible City, a compelling documentary about the food movement here in the Bay Area. The film will be followed with a presentation by two current Food First interns, Julie Burton and Erin Raser, on their research findings regarding farmers’ markets and food security in Costa Rica. We’ll leave plenty of time for discussion about how the twin goals of food security and farm security can be bridged by community efforts.

About Us
The mission of the Institute for Food and Development Policy, better known as Food First, is to end the injustices that cause hunger.
Food First envisions a world in which all people have access to healthy, ecologically produced, and culturally appropriate food. After 40 years of analysis of the global food system, we know that making this vision a reality involves more than technical solutions—it requires political transformation. That’s why Food First supports activists, social movements, alliances, and coalitions working for systemic change. Our work—including action-oriented research, publications, projects and Food Sovereignty Tours—gives you the tools to understand the global challenges, build your local movement, and engage with the global movement for food sovereignty.
*Free and Open to the public. Donations welcome.
Food and drink available for purchase from Los Cilantros.
