Event Description
Join us to learn about the current challenges in our food system, how food polices are determined, and how you can take part to contribute to a solution. Hear from a panel of experts as they discuss questions such as:
• What are the biggest barriers to a just food system?
• What information do policymakers need to make decisions around food justice?
• How can individuals influence policy change?
After hearing from our panelists, participants can join small group conversations to share their concerns, listen to concerns of others, and discuss what they hope to work on in the future to help feed communities.
