The Future
This draft declaration was publicly unveiled on August 28th in the rotunda of San Francisco’s City Hall and posted here for 90 days of comments.
The purpose of this comment period was
to test and hone document language to ensure it will be understood by any person with sufficient interest to read it, and
to confirm that the declaration language captures a broad national consensus by stakeholders in the food and agriculture system.
The comment period ended on November 30, 2008 and the drafting team is reviewing the comments in order to create the final document.
The final document is scheduled for completion in January 2009. At that point, Roots of Change (ROC), Slow Food, Food and Water Watch, Edible Communities, Watershed Media, and any other interested NGOs and individuals will then turn to three tasks:
a team of Web 2.0 experts will run a Web-based viral campaign to collect hundreds of thousands of endorsements;
a team of policy experts will develop a specific policy agenda on food and agriculture that will emerge from the principles contained in the declaration;
a team of organizers representing a broad set of constituents will plan an event in Washington DC for fall 2009, where the Declaration and the policy agenda will be delivered to policy makers. The event is proposed to be the official launch of the next effort to improve federal food and agriculture policy.
