Roots of Change Session Two- day 2


During the second day of our workshop with Roots of Change we began building concensus around problems regarding the current food system and building strategies for change based on the values and interests of the range of stakholders that play an active role within the system. The Center for Land-Based Learning has become our genus loci to remind us of the many stakeholders that play an important role in building a vision of a sustainable food system in California.

Our facilitator Joseph McIntyre led us through problem solving discussions and action planning throughout the session.

We broke into small groups for our discussions with each group member representing a sector of the food system.


To help us in our work we received a visit from several ROC Council members Larry Yee Director, UC Cooperative Extension-Ventura County; Advisor, the Hansen Trust...



...and Jim Cockran the Director of Swanton Berry Farms in Davenport.


Director of Roots of Change Michael Dimmock, Larry Yee and Tom Tomich, director of UC Davis Agricultural Sustainability Institute.
