CALIM Lausanne - Presentation Evening

Context
: A food bank (Calim) helps everyone gain access to the food of their choice. The right to food is indeed a recognized universal right; in reality, however, it can sometimes be difficult to exercise.

A Calim allows people to come together and balance resources: it is a universal, solidarity-based fund. Anyone who wishes to can become a member. For it to work well, financial balance must be maintained; in a Calim, members decide together how to achieve this.

From Plow to Plate
: Agriculture and food are interconnected. Without farmers, there would be no food. They are the ones who produce healthy, delicious food. Yet their work is little known and poorly paid.

A Calim promotes local production and offers fair prices to farmers. It also helps forge ties between the city and the countryside: in a Calim, you know the people from whom you choose to buy food.

A Lausanne
