The Food &amp; Solidarity Economy 101 Workshop&nbsp;is a virtual version of the teach-in session that we offered at our in-person <a fr-original-style="" href="https://communityfoodstrategies.org/2026/03/04/the-2026-regional-community-food-gatherings/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Regional Gatherings</a> earlier this year. &nbsp;It is a practical introduction of the values and tools of Solidarity Economy and how they can be used to shift our food systems towards equity and justice. Throughout this workshop participants will have the opportunity to reflect on how communities are re‑imagining food&mdash;from land and labor to local markets and mutual aid. We&rsquo;ll look at North Carolinian efforts rooted in cooperation, shared ownership, and community care. 🥦 Hosted by Community Food Strategies, this workshop is designed for food system leaders who are curious about building regional food systems that are moving us from short-term charity towards long-term community-rooted solutions. Come ready to connect, ask questions, and explore ways to build a food economy that cares. 🌱
