Heinz Professor Timothy Beatley of the Dept. of Urban + Environmental Planning teamed up with Tanya Denckla Cobb, senior associate at the Institute for Environmental Negotiation (IEN) to lead a course during the spring 2006 semester entitled, "Planning for a Sustainable and Secure Community Food System." Students in the course presented their findings to a meeting of Charlottesville-area government, community leaders, growers and retailers at the conclusion of the semester. Over the summer students are continuing to work with local citizens and leaders to assess community food source origins. In Spring 2007, a new class will convene to prepare a community food plan for Central Viriginia. The class report is available at www.tjpdc.org.
