Movement Leader Perspectives: Farm to School Strategies for Building Power
Farm to school can be an effective strategy for shifting power and advancing racial equity in the food system when communities come together to implement practices that affirm cultural and community values, and center the voices and desires of people who have been marginalized, exploited and excluded from the current system. On this panel, hear from experienced farm to school and farm to ECE practitioners about how food and food education initiatives are building power in their communities. Panelists include:
> Fredando “Farmer Fredo” Jackson, farmer and Executive Director of Flint River Fresh located in southwest Georgia
> Maya Marie, creator of Deep Routes: An Afro-Indigenous Culinary Curriculum
> Alexis Harrison and Junior Duplessis, Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation Center for Healthy Neighborhoods
> Moderated by Sommer Sibilly-Brown, Founder and Executive Director of Virgin Islands Good Food Coalition
This session is part of National Farm to School Network’s Community Gathering on June 23. Make sure you’re registered for the other sessions happening this day! More info here: www.farmtoschool.org/gathering.
