Knowledge at the Table: Food and Environmental Racism

The event's focus will be on urban agri-food systems and environmental racism, also encompassing social and economic inclusion. The format will be a roundtable discussion, using an informal approach and involving professionals in the field as well as the participation of young people. Within the context of food, the promotion of urban gardens and access to green spaces have emerged as goals in promoting food sovereignty and resilience in the Global South. Therefore, these proposed roundtable discussions directly align with the event's theme by delving into the concept of investing in future urban areas that incorporate food systems into city planning, ensuring food security and sovereignty, as well as investment in green spaces.
