The Annual Gathering for San Diego County Food Vision 2030 takes place every fall, featuring inspirational speakers, interactive sessions, open space for dialogue and networking, and local food.
At the Annual Gathering, San Diegans come together and share stories and ideas for how we can invest in our local food economy, preserve agricultural land and soils, elevate wages and working conditions for food and farm workers, increase ownership by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, promote food sovereignty, and more.
The Annual Gathering provides an inclusive and inspiring space for those working to cultivate justice, fight climate change, or build resilience in their communities—whether through the food system or through other systems and movements.
Whether you produce, prepare, distribute, serve, or simply love to eat food, you’re likely to attend a session or make a connection at the Annual Gathering that will be valuable to you.
