Summary:
Food is fundamental to human existence, at the heart of our cultures, deeply tied to our natural and physical environments, and offers a gateway to reflect on the systems that influence and shape our worlds. Despite numerous advancements in the ways that food comes from the land to our tables, the food system is identified as a contributing factor to serious social and environmental issues. This presentation by Dr. Charles Levkoe will highlight some of the most significant challenges facing our food system while offering pathways for the future. He will also share examples of collaborative research initiatives that challenge dominant structures and aim to ensure a more equitable and sustainable food future for all.
