When we talk about the food system, it is with an understanding of how we are connected to the earth and the history of our land. In our SFPC Community Advisory Board meetings, we begin with a Land Acknowledgement, which makes visible the Indigenous peoples that have lived on and worked these lands on which we now reside. We provide the Land Acknowledgement with a sense of humbleness and responsibility since we directly benefit from this land that was not legally given to the Colonies and because we want to honor the truth.<\/p>\n
