Save The Date! "Food Justice:Our Food, Our Bodies" Conference U of W March 18th-20th


A 3 day event hosted by the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) to look critically at our food system – present and future – with a focus on equity, justice, community and sustainability.

Amid a growing awareness of the importance of healthy food and sustainable food systems, join community leaders, students, activists and others for lively discussion and powerful visioning where we will explore the barriers and opportunities to making good food equal and accessible to all.

We will:

- explore the relationship between food, culture and identify
- identify structural inequalities in our food system that create barriers to growing, producing, accessing and eating healthy, safe and culturally appropriate food
- connect food justice and reproductive justice
- examine racism in the food system and build awareness and tools for creating change
- and more!
