Mission Statement
Mission Statement
Our mission is to support the life affirming food system of the future. We see it as being built on justice and guided by Abolition which means that our agroecology, our organizing, and work must be anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, and transformative.
By Abolition we mean:
A better world is possible and that includes a food system which nourishes people and the planet.
Vision Statement

We envision this conference as a grounds for cultivating hope and action towards food justice praxis. This includes building connections between disciplines and across communities so that we can engage in dialogue, build and strengthen coalitions, and ultimately work towards abolition and alternative institutions.
