What's For Dinner?

Pati Mortensen and Terrie Bad Hand are co-directors of the Taos County Economic Development Center, host of the 2013 Gathering of GFJI. Holding a GFJI meeting to celebrate and share the approach and work of the TCEDC (Taos County Economic Development Center) has been a long-standing dream of its two co-directors and Will and Erika Allen and their organizations (Growing Food with Justice for all Initiative is the food justice organizing arm of Growing Power). The gathering brought together people of all colors and ages with very different spiritual values and manners of doing business, and they discussed water rights, genetically modified seeds, and organizing in powerfully urgent and specific ways. Terrie and Pati describe how TCEDC's mission and programs over its nearly 30 years have embodied Food Justice principles.
