Tour Update

2 Comments

School Food Tour planning is in full swing this week!

Christmas-time  goals:

  • Identify holes along the Tour route, specifically in populations that lack healthy living advocates
  • Consider the feasibility of taking the Tour to Washington DC
  • Buy coded stickers for my huge maps to categorize planning
  • Catch up on this month’s published public health research
  • Research camera possibilities
  • Watch the lunar eclipse by skis

… and I’m off!!!

Shout-Out to Grizwald

Meet Grizwald, my fuzzy assistant. The School Food Tour initiative would not be where it is today without his essential input. He is pictured below in his office, working diligently to further the SFT mission.

 

He is also in charge of my PR.

 

Thanks Griz, for all that you do.

A Timely Opportunity – The IATP Food & Society Fellowship

Leave a comment

Readers! Allow me to introduce the extremely exciting Food & Society Fellowship program from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.  This program is a fabulous opportunity for creative individuals looking to gain technical and financial support on projects dedicated to food system reform. Pioneering initiatives such as Food Corps and Parent Earth are products of previous fellows. I endeavor to add the School Food Bicycle Tour to this list! My weekend was consumed with drafting responses to the application questions and writing my cover letter. I encourage any of you out there with big ideas for creating a more equitable food system to apply. I, for one, plan to submit my materials promptly.  Cross your fingers for the School Food Tour!
