Thanks to a mini-grant from Shareable, the Arroyo S.E.C.O. Local Economy Incubator presented a December workshop!

CALIFORNIA FOOD LAW:
Locally Grown, Made and Shared


Held on Saturday, December 6th this workshop was designed to create more awareness about recent California legislation that makes local food production, selling and sharing more accessible.


Legislation covered:
  • AB 1990   Community Food Producers
  • AB-551     Urban Agriculture Act
  • AB-2561   Neighborhood Food Act
  • AB-1616   Homemade Food Act

This workshop covered a variety of topics related to food sovereignty:
  • How to forage, glean and sell legally
  • How to certify a home kitchen to start a home-based food business
  • The do’s and don’ts, along with personal stories from food activists on the front lines

Hector Gutierrez, policy analyst at Community Health Council

Thank you to the Armory Center for the Arts for the use of their space for time dollars. And thank you to the ASNTB cottage producers who provided delicious samples!
