Focus: Addressing systemic inequities in food and agriculture, especially for BIPOC and underserved communities.Â
During my fellowship with the NH Food Alliance, I was incharge of looking at the Food system from the lense of equity. Determining how equity is related and affiliated with each aspect of the food system.
I learned how deeply structural barriers impact farmers of color and small-scale producers, especially around issues like land access, market opportunities, and policy support. This experience showed me how critical it is to address these inequities in policy and practice for a sustainable system.
