Sure, I&#8217;d like to see more wild game on menus, fewer macarons, and more great casual dining with a focus on local, but food security for all would be my real number one wish. We can move closer to food for all this year with just a little more thought around the very subject of food, Sustainability must be a trend in our world, not only from a food perspective but in every way, we live, or we won&#8217;t have the soil we need to grow food, or the environment to support it. Fortunately, most food trends have been moving in the right direction, so let&#8217;s all further embrace these and continue to make a difference in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food Waste<\/strong> \u2013 We are reducing food waste and will be paying more attention as the price of food increases. From veggies to meat to that leftover pasta, let&#8217;s use those odds and ends.

It&#8217;s also cool to reach into the fridge and grab a jar of pickles that you made yourself. You may even know the farmer that grew said pickles, and that&#8217;s even better.

These events are gaining momentum through 2017 many want experiences over material items. Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Across Vancouver, networks of committed people are focusing on food justice and resilience at the neighbourhood level with the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vancouverfoodnetworks.com\/\">Neighbourhood Food Networks (NFNs)<\/a>.<\/strong> Each network provides<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>community-based food initiatives and programs. You&#8217;ll find bulk food buying clubs, gardening workshops, and community kitchens. Here&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll perhaps also find that fermentation workshop!<\/li>\n<li>At\u00a0UBC Farm each year Meeru Dhalwala and Mary Mackay produce the<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.joyoffeeding.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joy of Feeding<\/a><\/strong>, an event featuring home cooks from different ethnic backgrounds who share their dishes, traditions, and stories. From Russia with love!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greasy Spoon Super Series<\/strong> &#8211; Fundraiser for<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/abetterlifefoundation.ca\/\">A Better Life Foundation<\/a> &#8211; This<\/strong> monthly series sees Vancouver&#8217;s top chefs create their own unique spin on diner fare.
