Peace + Food = PeaceMeal
The PeaceMeal Project explores the connections between the broad spheres of peace and food. We use the Earth Charter‘s definition of peace as “…the wholeness created by right relationships with oneself, other persons, other cultures, other life, Earth, and the larger whole of which all are a part.” We are looking at the intersections of this idea of peace with the food system at many degrees of scale from the individual to the international. We really like the National Peace Academy‘s framework for peace, which includes the personal, social, institutional, political, and ecological spheres.
This project takes many forms, including:
- Workshops
- Online courses
- A collaborative writing project of articles, essays, recipes, photos, poems and other creative pieces
- Partnerships with other peace and food organizations
- Much more!
We hope you will join us in promoting a culture of peace through food!
