Food Systems and Land-Use
The Neighborhoods Workgroup at the California Endowment is pleased to invite you to:
Food Systems and Land Use
Tuesday, June 24th, 2014
9:00am - 12:00pm
A movement to create a more equitable, sustainable and healthy food system is sweeping the nation, and some of the most innovative strategies are emerging in California. Our food system impacts not only our individual health, but the economic vitality of our neighborhoods. It can impact land use, and both the natural and built environments of our neighborhoods.
The food system can be a platform to engage community residents in policy advocacy, and to galvanize their political power. An equitable food system could connect us to our culture and traditions, provide living wages and working conditions, small business opportunities and much more. The efforts of urban agriculture activists and advocates in the Sacramento region will be highlighted.
Speakers
Chanowk Yisrael, Yisrael Family Farms
Shawn Harrison, Soil Born Farms
Charles Mason, Ubuntu Green
Please join us for a videoconference/conference call on investing in healthy land use hosted by Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) and PolicyLink. This is the fourth in our Land Use Community of Practice series and is designed to create a space where grantees, community stakeholders and others can learn, share and be informed on the land use issues and practices that are most pertinent to your work.
We encourage you join the Community of Practice by video conference at the following locations:

Social Equity Caucus - Health Impact Assessment
We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the San Francisco Department of Public Health's annual Health Impact Assessment Practitioners' Training (July 14-17, 2014)http://www.sfhealthequity.org/services/hia-training.
What is Health Impact Assessment?
Health impact assessment (HIA) is most often defined as “a combination of procedures, methods and tools by which a policy, program or project may be judged as to its potential effects on the health of a population, and the distribution of those effects within the population” (World Health Organization, 1999).
The field of HIA and the process of getting health into decision-making continues to evolve and growhttp://www.healthimpactproject.org/hia/us
How will you and your team enhance skill sets, leverage big data, meaningfully engage communities, and have collective impact? HIA is one of many tools that may be considered for health-protective policy and action.

About the Women's Policy Institute
Now in its 12th year, the Women’s Foundation of California’s statewide Women’s Policy Institute (WPI) attracts and engages a diverse group of community-based women leaders who want to build their skills to influence public policymaking at the state level. The Institute amplifies the voices of women who are engaged in grassroots social justice work, training them on how legislation is made, broadening their networks across social justice movements and connecting them to policymakers.
Each year this nonpartisan Institute offers an environment where up to 25 women leaders can leverage their expertise about their community needs and apply their new skills, networks and knowledge to influence policy and budget solutions that will positively impact women and families in California. Since the program’s inception in 2003, over 300 Institute fellows have been trained to make lasting policy changes for their communities. Fellows have contributed to advocacy efforts of 57 policy projects and 26 bills—20 of which became California law.
