The Roots of System Change

Salvation Army Auditorium
221 E 52nd St.
NYC
Th
is panel will explore access
to healthy food as a lens for
understanding the interconnections of all our e
quity and sustainability
issues
.
Ensuring sustainable food for all is both a practical and a moral
effort; faith communities have long been
committed
to this
. Access to decent
food
is
a cross
cutting issue
through all
the Sustainable Development Goals;
it touches on justice, sovereignty,
health, climat change, water, economy,
faith and
world peace, and women'
s leadership
in all these arenas
.
Panelists will reflect on specific strategies towards food sovereignty for all, as well as what sustains them in their work, both in literal food and spirit. Join us to discuss how meeting this most basic human need can illuminate a path towards a healthier and more just future.
