BERKELEY, CA - December 30 - Successful university movement for "real food" is launching nationally in January 2011 with support from Michael Pollan, Bill McKibben, Slow Money, and students everywhere.
WHAT: National training for student cooperative food activists to be held January 10-20, 2011 in Sebastopol, CA, followed by launch of CoFed national programming and membership drive.
BACKGROUND - Student leaders from regions around the USA are gathering January 2011 in California to receive training from the Cooperative Food Empowerment Directive (CoFed) in how to create ethically-sourced, student-run local storefronts and cafés on college campuses throughout their regions.
On January 20th, as CoFed's freshly "inspiregized" and newly hired inaugural team of six regional directors begins advancing the student cooperative food movement across the West Coast, Southwest, and East Coast, CoFed will simultaneously launch a national membership and publicity drive to support them.
