We are fortunate to live in a region with a rich and varied food network, including cultivated crops, foraged foods, and community food co-ops. However, the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted food producers and consumers alike. Food producers find themselves without a market to sell their goods. Certain communities face food insecurity. We Are Puget Sound is a book and campaign that has been building collective solutions for a healthy Salish Sea for people, wildlife and the environment. Join us in a discussion how COVID 19 is impacting on food security for many communities including immigrants and how farmers, fishers, and shellfish growers are coping with getting products to restaurants and to people if there is no demand. What is happening to address this disparity and what is needed? Featured speakers: Mindy Roberts, Washington Environmental Council Melissa Campbell, PCC Farmland Trust Tahmina Martelly, World Relief Seattle Musical performance by: Sheryl Wiser: a Seattle-based musician and also is Farm Guide Program Director for Seattle Tilth Alliance\'s Puget Sound Fresh program.
