Join us for The Future of Food Conversation Series!
The Future of Food: Moving from Food Apartheid to a Future of Food Justice
“To free ourselves, we must feed ourselves,” says Leah Penniman, a widely recognized leader in the food and racial justice movement. Her words are inspired by the reality that racial injustice and inequity is embedded in the very foundation of our current food system.
If we’re going to build a just and regenerative food future for Nashville, we cannot do so without imagining how the future centers the needs and desires of people and communities of color. In this conversation, we’ll hear from community members about models of work and action they see unfolding in our community that are beginning to transform our food system into one that creates and nurtures racial justice.
The moderated panel discussion will be followed by open Q&A and an opportunity for community conversation and networking.
This event is free and open to the public.
