Meet this amazing group of people who help bring food to your and your neighbor’s tables. This interactive program will include delicious samples from Sway and Curtis Aikens plus a panel discussion. It will be a fun, informative event that might change how you view our Bay Area food system. 

Andy Naja-Riese, CEO of the Agricultural Institute of Marin County, will discuss how we can strengthen our local food system in a changing climate. Chef Curtis Aikens, a former host and founding chef of The Food Network, will explain the Marin City HEAL Collaborative CAT, its three food system priorities, and how that ties into farmers markets and food banks. Ms. Tanis Crosby will discuss the mission of the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank to end hunger with a commitment to equity, collaboration and community. And Sway, founder of Forest & Flour, will share their journey into the allergen-free world and discuss how food nourishes environmental health, playing a vital role in bridging tradition, modernity, resilience and social justice.
