About the Symposium

Mission: The 2021 Environmental Justice Symposium, themed around Food Justice, aims to connect the NCSU community with issues of food insecurity & community-based action.

Goals:

Provide community members with information related to food insecurity and justice
Highlight existing resources, community leaders, and projects related to food issues, particularly in the Raleigh area
Encourage future engagement in food justice for attendees by offering tangible ways they can contribute to their community’s efforts
Welcome discussion and collaboration on how to build a more equitable food system

The symposium will take place in a fully virtual format - webinar links will be uploaded to the calendar & event description pages.
