Racial Equity in the Food System Workgroup

The Racial Equity in the Food System Workgroup is a convening of Cooperative Extension professionals and community stakeholders. Members of this national workgroup are working to connect, learn, and collaborate to build racial equity within the food system. 

If you're looking ways to start including racial equity in your work, you've come to the right place. The webinars, resources, and trainings highlighted on this page can help you make connections with those who have had multiple learning experiences with racial equity and are already using it as a programming lens. Information available through this workgroup is open to all food systems educators who wish to incorporate racial equity in their work.

Organizations represented on the Steering Committee include:

• Doers Consulting Alliance
• Michigan State University Department of Community Sustainability
• NC State Extension
• South Dakota State University
• Tuskegee University
• University of California Cooperative Extension
• University of Missouri
• University of Tennessee
• Virginia Cooperative Extension/Virginia Tech

This group is part of the eXtension Community, Local, and Regional Food Systems Community of Practice.

The purpose of this workgroup is to be a community of Cooperative Extension professionals and community stakeholders who connect, learn and collaborate to facilitate change within our institutions and society to build racial equity within the food system.
