Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
VV functions as one large neighbourhood food network by helping foster community food resilience. Our members are active throughout neighbourhoods in Vancouver, with a common interest/love for food. The VV Neighbourhood Food Network works on projects, coordinating gardens, seed saving, hosting workshops and having fun! It’s all about strengthening our local food webs while coming together around food. Examples of what VV Food Network activity include: putting on the Westside Food Festivals, workshops on Preserving Healthy Foods, Food storing and Meal Prep, and community potlucks! VV is an active member of Vancouver Neighbourhood Food Networks, a group of 15 different Food Networks through Vancouver.
See the Neighbourhood Food Network subtab page for an overview of VV`s Neighbourhood Food Networks (NFN's), specific interest food groups (bees, chickens, community gardening, seed saving, etc., and our other food related activities.
