✨ This week’s spotlight shines a light on Kapish Chhabra and the recent Vancouver Food Systems Dialogue held at Vancouver City Hall. Kapish is a Columbia College, Vancouver BC. student and Community Connections practicum student with the Vancouver Food Justice Coalition (placement co-facilitated by Vancouver Food Runners). As Kapish’s placement wraps up, he reflects on what he’s learned over the last six months and shares about the primary project he was involved with: the Vancouver Food Systems Dialogue. SNEAK PEEK: ❓VFR: Kapish, what are some of your key reflections from the Dialogue? What stood out to you that day?   Kapish: One of the most striking aspects of the Vancouver Food Systems Dialogue for me was the active participation of elected City Council members. Their presence demonstrated a significant willingness to engage with community voices and collaborate on finding solutions to pressing issues within our food systems. It was encouraging to see elected officials taking the time to listen to the lived experiences and expertise shared by community members and experts during the Dialogue.   Furthermore, the willingness of diverse stakeholders to come together and engage in meaningful dialogue was inspiring. It highlighted the power of collaboration in addressing complex issues like food insecurity and building more equitable food systems.   I really liked how despite facing numerous challenges, including those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, community organizations and individuals demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability in their efforts to address food insecurity and support vulnerable populations.   Overall, the willingness of elected council members to be part of the Vancouver Food Systems Dialogue signalled a positive step towards building stronger connections between communities and government and working collaboratively to address systemic issues within our food systems.   Click the link to learn more! https://lnkd.in/gqtPPFnP

We recently had the opportunity to speak with Jared and Miki and ask them some questions. Here's how the conversation went. What made you want to work with Hope House’s Better Food Co Project? At Crafty Ramen, our purpose is to craft meaningful connections, so that together we can create a difference in the communities we serve. We wanted to work with Hope House’s Better Food Co Project, because of their important work and connection in a community that gives us our purpose. Hope House brings so much support to the community we love and we want to help in any way that we can. What does a community food system look like to you? We believe everyone should have access to quality, healthy meals. For us, a community food system is a way to connect communities through good food, and for those fortunate with more than enough to share with those that may not have enough. We created this project to share healthy food with low-income families. Why is that important? For us food is about more than sustenance—it is a way to show people we care about them and that they are valued. To provide quality food to those in communities that may not have access to it is our way of showing them that they are valued and perhaps even provide a little hope. We’ve all needed a helping hand at some point in our lives, and with this project we can pay that back and extend a hand to those that need it today. What excites you most about sharing this meal with our community? To us, ramen is the ultimate comfort food, so sharing our ramen with this community is our way of giving them a big hug and saying we care.

Avoid rodent infestations to ensure food safety By Cookson Beecher on October 14, 2024 Batten down the hatches. They’re on their way. We’re talking about rodents, mice and rats, which are formidable enemies to the food industry especially when fall brings cooler weather. Food processors, warehouse managers, restaurant owners, and even homeowners, know this all too well. After all, the rodents are a lot like humans. They’re looking for warmth and shelter and food as the weather gets colder. https://lnkd.in/gTt7uNXX
