Farmers Market Initiative Informational Webinar
During the farmers market season, local partners like you can continue to support the Farmers Market Initiative (FMI), an integrated campaign aimed at helping CalFresh eligible shoppers “Get More at the Farmers Market.” FMI encourages CalFresh eligible shoppers to get more at the markets by maximizing their food dollars while supporting local farmers. Representatives from the Ecology Center, WIC, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture will share resources and information about their programs, including Market Match, EBT, WIC, and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Local partners who work with CalFresh, WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program clients should attend.
Food as Identity, Community, and a Reflection of Values: An Introduction to Culturally Competent Nutrition Education Delivery and Design
During this 2.5-hour session, participants will delve into the critical intersection of cultural competence theory and nutrition education delivery, emphasizing the profound impact of cultural beliefs and practices on dietary habits and health outcomes. Participants will engage in activities to assess cultural competency in their nutrition education initiative. Finally, participants will gain a nuanced understanding of cultural competence versus cultural humility in nutrition education design and delivery, thereby enhancing the impact and inclusivity of their practice. Participants will walk away from this session with an action plan that can further promote cultural competence and humility on both a program and institutional level.
The training is facilitated by Patrilie Hernandez of Embody Lib, a community platform and consulting practice that supports People of the Global Majority in reclaiming their health and well-being through education, engagement, and empowerment.
