Why equity?

Equity is a life-long practice of re-directing power to groups that have been marginalized. In this way, we can create a food system that re-distributes resources from those traditionally in power to these underrepresented communities.

According to the Center for Social Inclusion, “we all need to be a part of the solution if we want to have a sustainable, equitable and just food system. Winning a bright food future requires a set of strategies that are multi-racial and addresses the needs of both rural and urban areas. Rural communities, regardless of race, need viable food economies that benefit rural families. And people of color who are food system producers, workers and consumers, are the fastest growing populations in America, and among those deeply in need of a viable and fair food system”.

 I look forward to working together.
