How can we apply equity and anti-racism principles to our food system
work? In answer to this question, this webinar provides three examples
from the Cooperative Extension System of efforts to promote equity and
undo racism in local food systems. These examples from North Carolina,
Michigan, and Pennsylvania offer a range of experiences and strategies.
Kaitlin Wojciak, from Michigan State University Extension, will
describe a recent training and learning group dedicated to exploring
issues of power, privilege, and racial equity for the state’s Community
Food Systems team. Shorlette Ammons, from North Carolina’s Center for
Environmental Farming Systems, will discuss the Center’s efforts to
embed an equity lens and practice into all areas of its work. Heather
Manzo, from Penn State Extension, will describe work with an urban food
policy council to engage diverse community members and positively impact
equity issues in the metropolitan food system.
