About this event

PRESENTING:

"Food Equity by Design"

An afternoon webinar on the power of community-centered planning in creating equitable food system with Dr. Samina Raja via Zoom!

Cities around the United States are rebuilding their community food infrastructure. Community gardens, urban farms, farmers' markets, rooftop gardens, and fresh food cooperatives are transforming food landscapes. How does this resurgent interest in communities’ food infrastructure center questions of equity and justice, if at all? Who controls food landscapes in cities? What role can planning and design play in creating a more just and equitable community food infrastructure? Drawing on community-centered research completed in US cities, Dr. Samina Raja will explore these questions in her talk as part of the Reshaping Rochester series.

Through this year's lecture series we will unpack what it means to be "ideal," explore cities that would be categorized as ideal, and ask if/how our own community could become ideal.

Dr. Samina Raja | Buffalo, NY

Founder & Director, Food Systems Planning and Healthy Communities Lab at University at Buffalo

Dr. Samina Raja is a Professor of Urban and Regional Planning and the Associate Dean for Research and Inclusive Excellence at the University at Buffalo, the State University of New York. Trained in civil engineering and urban planning, Dr. Raja’s research focuses on the potential of community-led planning and policy to create equitable and healthy communities.

She is the founder and Director of the Food Systems Planning and Healthy Communities Lab and Co-Directs the Community for Global Health Equity. With community and academic partners, she currently leads an action-research initiative, Growing Food Policy from the Ground Up, to build the capacity of growers of color to shape urban agriculture policy (in Buffalo, NY and Minneapolis, MN). A larger, national-scale project Growing Food Connections focuses on the use of local government planning to strengthen community food systems. Her work outside of the US highlights the ways in which smallholder urban farmers in the Global South promote food sovereignty, particularly in cities experiencing protracted crises (Srinagar, Kashmir). Most recently, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN published her (and co-authors’) monograph that offers guidance on the role of local government planning in strengthening food systems in low- and middle-income countries.

A widely published scholar, Dr. Raja is the recipient of numerous awards including for her mentorship (2020 Distinguished Post Doc Mentor), community-engaged work (2016 Excellence in Community-University Engagement), and scholarship (2014 Dale Scholar).
