Food accessibility took center stage during the first of three webinars for the Western Maryland Food Councilâs virtual conference.
The video session was joined by about 75 participants to listen to the keynote address from Mark Winne, author and senior adviser to the Center for a Livable Future at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Session attendees, along with Winne, said Alleghany, Garrett and Washington counties are doing well to implement Winneâs âlocal food movement.â
Strong, reliable local food sources contribute to four foundations of healthy communities, Winne said. These foundations are food security, social justice, health and a sustainable economy.
