Held in Conjunction with the World Food Prize
Are you currently using the Community Capitals Framework in your work? If so, we would like to learn about your approach and methods. This year's Community Capitals Framework (CCF) Institute will feature several sessions on data collection, coding and analysis using the CCF in addition to small group sessions created by participants' work.
We are particularly interested in how the Community Capitals Framework is being using to understand the impact of community change work, leadership development, climate change, sustainability and community readiness and resiliency. We are also interested in strategies to engage communities and organizations using the Community Capitals Framework. Finally, we want to bring great minds together to discuss strategies for collecting and analyzing data that can help us better under successful community and system-level change using the CCF.
If you are interested in participating in the program, please send an abstract of your work (of up to 500 words) along with keywords to Mary Emery by August 15, 2011.
Registration for this year's conference is $150.00 USD which includes refreshments and a catered dinner of local foods on Monday night. Registration and payment can be completed at the bottom of this announcement.
The World Food Prize is the foremost international award recognizing -- without regard to race, religion, nationality, or political beliefs -- the achievements of individuals who have advanced human development by improving the quality, quantity or availability of food in the world.
The Prize recognizes contributions in any field involved in the world food supply -- food and agriculture science and technology, manufacturing, marketing, nutrition, economics, poverty alleviation, political leadership and the social sciences.
The World Food Prize emphasizes the importance of a nutritious and sustainable food supply for all people. By honoring those who have worked successfully toward this goal, the Prize calls attention to what has been done to improve global food security and what can be accomplished in the future.
