MLFCN August Monthly Meeting
August 15, 2024 10:00AM - 11:30AM
This month, we'll be hosting a mini digital retreat to reconnect our network of food systems leaders, innovators, and change makers to their roots with "Food through the Lens of Equity and Joy," hosted by Food Systems Strategist Lucy Flores of Studio Magic Hour.
Food system work often frames food through the lens of nutrition. Although we depend on food for our sustenance, what does it look like to value food as connection to land and waters, history and memory, culture and identity, ourselves, one another, and community? What if we took it a step further and grounded our work in joy and equity? During this monthly call, we'll discuss the limitations of a nutrition-focused framework and the essential ways in which we can expand our perspectives on food in our community work.
The call will also include state and federal legislative updates and conclude with offers, requests, and connections. Please let Keesa (johns253@msu.edu), Kolia (ksouza@msu.edu) or Jordan (lindsa57@msu.edu) know if there are topics you want to discuss on future calls.
