Wednesday, March 25, 2015 • Lucknow Sentinel 5 Huron County Food Charter and Huron Seed Library Huron Food Action Nework Spring Launch Submitted A winter of concentrated activity has resulted in a number of exciting projects for the Huron Food Action Network (HFAN). The Net- work, which is comprised of a broad base of food system stakeholders from a diverse range of backgrounds and community involvement, was established in 2013 to provide a forum for net- working, action and food systems development. The HFAN Community Food Education Working Group has in partnership with the Huron County Library developed a Huron Seed Library to promote seed saving and stocking. The HFAN Huron Food Policy Council has facilitated a community based process which has resulted in a Food Charter for Huron County. Both these initia- tives and a new logo and website will be launched at the Huron Food Action Net- work meeting to be held March 26, 6:30-9pm at the Huron County Health Unit. A seed library is a deposi- tory of seeds held in trust for the members of that library. Members come to the library and borrow seed for their garden. They grow the plants in their garden and at the end of the season; they let a few plants 'go to seed.' From those plants, they collect seeds and return the same amount of seed (or more) as they borrowed at the begin- ning of the growing season. Seeds are free to members. The library is both a collec- tion of seeds and a commu- nity of gardeners. The goals MADEISH�. Canada Because some wishes can't wait for someday. www makeawish.ca 1-888-822-9474 of a seed library is to prevent the loss of seed diversity, protecting varieties from extinction and developing seeds that have adapted to regional conditions and challenges as well as encour- aging the community to grow their own fresh food. Currently seeds can be bor- rowed at the Exeter and Wingham branches of the Huron County Library. A food charter is a vision and often the first step in planning for change as it vis- ualizes what a positive food future could look like. It out- lines the goals and objec- tives of the community and becomes a tool to affect and inform policy. The Huron County's Food Charter development process, a year in length, involved engaging community members and seeking their input into what values were important when considering food in Huron County. The resulting feed- back was gathered and a draft Charter was pro- duced. The Draft Charter was then brought back to the community for refinement and approval. The final Huron County Food Charter will be launched and meet- ing attendees will be asked to sign on or endorse the vision to help make it a real- ity in Huron County. The meeting is open to the public and anyone who has an interest in the vision, mission and strategic direc- tion of the HFAN join as a member, participate in a working group or receive HFAN mailings.
