What’s Sea Got to Do With It?

What’s the sea got to do with the food and farm movement? Whether used as fertilizer, animal feed, or direct human consumption, SEAfood is everywhere but in our food system conversations. New England is the first US region to recognize sustainable fisheries, livelihoods and communities parallel to the sustainable farm and food movement on land, by including SEAfood in its food systems planning vision. Discuss how creative collaborations, visualizing and including seafood in the conversation, have increased — and can further increase — our collective power for food systems change in the northeast. With the North Atlantic Marine Fisheries Alliance (NAMA) and presenters including:

  • Brandy Brooks, Boston Collaborative for Food and Fitness – Facilitator
  • Tom Kelly, Food Solutions New England
  • Brett Tolley, NAMA 
  • Stacia Clinton, Healthcare Without Harm
  • Diana Robinson, Food Chain Workers Alliance and Restaurant Opportunity Center 
  • Drew Love, Real Food Challenge 
  • Representative from the National Family Farm Coalition
