Compassionate Food: Caring for Consumers, Farmers and the Environment

March 11, 2020. 8 a.m. PT

Compassionate communities and cities need healthy and safe food to thrive.  This webinar is for all compassionate initiatives--mega-cities, towns and villages.

As part of its activities for a more compassionate Pune, India, we have launched the Annadata movement (Annadata means the provider of food.) The movement aims to connect organic farmers in and around Pune to consumers in the city, and to address shared challenges in the safe food ecosystem. These are expanding awareness of both producers and consumers, building ethical and efficient supply chains, reducing waste, supporting and training organic farmers. The Annadata Citizens’ movement works like an organism which is a coalition of NGOs, entrepreneurs, civic workers, organic farmers, teachers, students, citizens and volunteers.
