?? Join us in celebrating the fifth intervention area of CoFSA’s compilation of case studies: Food Policy Reform. Conscious Food Policy Reform is about more than just changing policies—it's about transforming the process of developing them. It requires creating spaces to start discussing policy options from a space of deep connection to self, others, and nature. Deep listening, non-violent communication, and the ability to navigate polarities are also central to the dialogue. This conscious approach enables us to craft policies that not only advance sustainability and equity but also reflect a deeper commitment to regenerative practices and social harmony. We want to thank and celebrate the inspiring work done by these organizations and leaders: Inner Green Deal and The Mindfulness Initiative. ??
