Bridging the Rural-Urban Divide: Building Common Ground

There is no doubt that there is a rural-urban divide, expressed in terms of culture, life experiences, perceptions, or political outlook. However, if we are to create a just, sustainable and secure food system then we need food growers in rural areas to find common cause with those who buy the food, most of whom live in urban areas. This session will look at initiatives which are helping to overcome the divide, thus contributing to a united food movement with growers and eaters, rural and urban residents coming together in a shared understanding.
